How to use a WPF window as a mailbox?

Question

I created a small window with some style. Now I want to use it just like a MessageBox. How can i achieve this?

Edit: I am new to WPF. I tried to call it in the main window like this.

Window1 messageBox = new Window1(); messageBox.Show(); messageBox.Activate(); 

The problem is that the newly created window disappears right behind the main window, preventing me from clicking on the action button in it.

Use ShowDialog instead of the Show method to pop up a message box window. Thus, the user will first close the pop-up or message box before returning to the main window

  MessageWindow message= new MessageWindow(); message.ShowDialog(); 

Edit

You obviously would like to return the result in the main windows? You can do this in several ways. The easiest way is to open a public method in MainWindow

 public GetResult(bool result) { //your logic } 

Create a MessageWindow constructor that takes a MainWindow in the parameter

  private MainWindow window; public MessageWindow(MainWindow mainWindow) { InitializeComponent(); window = mainWindow; } //now handle the click event of yes and no button private void YesButton_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e) { //close this window this.Close(); //pass true in case of yes window.GetResult(true); } private void NoButton_Click_1(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e) { //close this window this.Close(); //pass false in case of no window.GetResult(false); } //in that case you will show the popup window like this MessageWindow message= new MessageWindow(this); message.ShowDialog();
