Hi,

I really like the way the popup dialog works (ShowAsModal), but I have a couple of questions:

1.  How does the Custom button work?  Having it in the list of buttons doesn't seem to do anything and I don't see a CustomContent property.

2.  I need to do some form validation in my dialog user control when the user presses "OK" and if there are errors show them and leave the dialog open.  Is that possible?

3.  Can you control the order of the buttons displayed?

Thanks!

Hi Ed,

Specifying custom buttons is a bit limited at the moment and must be done in code, something like this:

myDialog.CreateButton(DialogButtons.Custom, "My Button", "myButton", true);

The 4th parameter determines whether the button is inserted before or after the existing buttons.

Regarding validation, you can stop the dialog from closing in the Closed event by setting e.Cancel = true:

private void myDialog_Closed(object sender, DialogEventArgs e)

{

    switch (e.Tag.ToString())

    {

        case "myButton":

            // Custom button clicked, do some validation

            if (Validate())

            {

                e.Cancel = true;

            }

            break;

    }

}

Thanks!

Exactly what I was looking for.  Thanks!

"Regarding validation, you can stop the dialog from closing in the Closed event by setting e.Cancel = true:"

That's what I meant to say was exactly what I was looking for.  This forum needs the ability to edit a post.  Can't you create an awesome Silverlight control for that?

Thanks,

Hi Beaudetious,

Thanks for the info.  With regards to editing forum posts at the moment that is not possible, however we hope to get editing functionality implemented.

Thanks!
