Hello,
I am trying to use the XamDataGrid in an Interop scenario with Win32. The HwndSource class is used to host a WPF control which contains the datagrid. One column of the grid contains dates (DataTime objects). If one cell of this column is edited and I enter some nonsense value, the datagrid shows a messagebox (telling me that this is not a valid value). This works fine in a plain WPF application. But when this happens within a hosted scenario (either Win32 or WinForms) the application crashes (see the attached call stack for details).
It looks like the messagebox which should be shown gets an invalid owner window.
Does anyone know how to solve this problem? Of course one way could be to disable the feature that an messagebox is shown and handle it on my own. Is it possible to disable the showing of MessageBoxes?
Thanks in advance,
Bernd

Thanks for the reply. I'll try your proposed solution.
In the meanwhile I helped myself by handling the "EditModeEnding" event and doing the data validation inside the eventhandler. But your suggestion sounds much better.
This issue has been logged and should be addressed in the next hotfix. For now, you can handle the ValueEditor.EditModeValidationError event and change the InvalidValueBehavior to something other than DisplayErrorMessage or Default - e.g. RetainValue, RevertValue. This situation can also happen when the datapresenter's DataError event is raised so you probably want to handle that event and set its Cancel to true and possibly show the message yourself from within that event.
