I've a XamRibbonWindow with a MDI window (using XamDockManager). If I open a modal XamDialogWindow, it disables the Ribbon at the top. However, if I open the dialog window as non-modal, then the Ribbon stays enabled.
I havent had any issues until now. I recently upgraded to the latest service release (2011.2094).
Has anyone encountered this issue?
Hello balakv,
The modal windows by default are supposed to disable the other windows and allow the user to interact only with them. Still I am not sure that I fully understood your scenario, so could you please create a small test sample where the issue is reproducible, so I can investigate it further.
Thanks in advance.
I am just checking have you been able to resolve your issue? If you still need any assistance on the matter do not hesitate to ask.
No I still have the issue. I'll try to get a sample code to reproduce the error. How do I send it over?
I have recently encountered the same issue when going from the original 2011v1 release to the SR2 patch.
This problem does not exist in a build of my application using the original 2011v1 release. There the dialog is modal, but only modal to its container (ie. what gets greyed out behind the scenes). The user can still move the app around, use the ribbon, minimize, maximize, etc.
In 2011v1 SR2, even though the dialog window is within a tab, it disables the entire application's ribbon, prevents moving the window around, and prevents minimizing/maximizing/closing the application.
Is there a workaround to restore the original behavior?
Hello,
I am having similar sort of issue when I open the XamDialogWindow (IsModal="True") from UserControl which opens in ContentPane inside of XamDockManager's TabGroupPane.
Here the Ribbon Controls and whole application disables but the TabGroupPane's ContentPane's Close button is Enabled and we can close the Tabbed ContentPane and my application remains in disabled state and user is left with no option other than using Task Manager to forcefully close the application.
I am just checking the progress of this issue and was wondering if you managed to isolate sample with the scenario. If you need any further assistance on the matter please do not hesitae to ask.
You can attached the sample through the forum thread using zipped archive. Just click Reply-> Options tag->Add/Update button or Reply-> Compose tag->Description’s toolbar->Insert Media .
If you need any further information about this, please let me know.
