ToniLa has uploaded a patch.

Description:
Fixed HorizontalOffset and VerticalOffset functionality for non-modal dialogs.
Removed modal dialog funtions, since they do not work anymore.

Included Silverlight 5 compatible sample project that shows how to use Horizontal and Vertical offsets to maintain dialog position, height and width when dialog is closed and recreated.

New Post: Vertiacal/Horizontal offset problem when mouve window

andyb1979 — Wed, 15 Aug 2012 16:04:31 GMT

Im working on this myself. I discovered (using the source) that VerticalOffset/HorizontalOffset has no effect unless the window is closed/shown. To reposition it relative to the parent Canvas you need to do this:

public void MoveTo(Point point)
{
    this.VerticalOffset = point.Y;
    this.HorizontalOffset = point.X;
    this.SetValue(Canvas.TopProperty, _verticalOffset);
    this.SetValue(Canvas.LeftProperty, _horizontalOffset);    
}

This then has a problem where if you drag the floatable window then call MoveTo there is an offset (because of the renderTransform applied to the ContentRoot. To workaround this, I modified the source for Chrome_MouseMove and Chrome_MouseDown. Note this only works for modeless dialogs as we are using the Canvas property not setting the position of the childwindow.

Commented Issue: Flashes on Show [5399]

kevindpath — Thu, 19 Jul 2012 20:54:51 GMT

The modeless window flashes momentarily before running the open transition. Sometimes I don't see the flash the first time the window is opened, but I always see it subsequently.

This is the same issue as Work Item 9195. I found a solution that worked for me and posted it there.

Commented Issue: Blinking of the floatable window [9195]

kevindpath — Thu, 19 Jul 2012 20:46:42 GMT

Hi, thanks for this control. I have a problem that was already described but there was no reply to it. When I call Show() for the FloatableWindow sometimes it appears smoothly but sometimes you can see a part of the window that appears and disappears very quickly before the dialog will be shown. How can I fix that?
Comments: ** Comment from web user: kevindpath **

I was getting this also, but I figured out a change that seems to work for me. The problem seemed to be that the window was being shown before the storyboard animation even started. I fixed it by setting the Opacity to 0 in the style, but setting it back to 1 immediately before the GoToState command that launched the storyboard.

So in generic.xaml, I added this Opacity line:

And in FloatableWindow.cs I added this Opacity line:

this.Opacity = 1;
VisualStateManager.GoToState(this, VSMSTATE_StateOpen, true);

New Post: Template for VS2010

shakyad — Thu, 29 Dec 2011 04:51:18 GMT

OK. Here is what I did.

Added a new item to the project using ChildWindow template
Referenced the Flotablewindow.dll in the project and the XAML.
Added: xmlns:windows="clr-namespace:System.Windows.Controls;assembly=FloatableWindow"
In xaml: changed <sdk:Childwindow> to <windows:FlotableWindow>
My FlotableWindow is ready for use.

Many thanks Tim! Now I can resize my childwindow.

Commented Issue: centered sizing == teh suck [10120]

JoeBrockhaus — Wed, 07 Dec 2011 16:17:53 GMT

when did this get added, and how can it be removed (easily), or switched back to default?
also the side-sizing-grips are gone?

sooo annoying.
what other window control do you know that expands from the center out?
Comments: ** Comment from web user: JoeBrockhaus **

oh nice.

that works well for the stretching, but then the window opens Top + Left.
I suppose that should be expected .. Setting them to Top + Left after OnOpened() just moves the window back to the topleft.

I tried forcing the position but this makes the overlay bug out.

Add HorizontalAlignment="Left" and VerticalAlignment="Top" to the Floating Window and wit will work

Commented Issue: Cannot resolve TargetName x [10163]

lsmventure — Thu, 17 Nov 2011 10:46:13 GMT

After open a floating dialog window and the trying to open a Built-In ChildWindow you get the following error: InvalidOperationException was unhandled by user code : Cannot resolve TargetName x
Comments: ** Comment from web user: lsmventure **

This is an intermittent problem we have experienced too. The 'X' relates to the name of the path object responsible for creating the close button. The State Manager is firing a state which in turn is trying to manipulate the path only to find it does not exist. Looking at the template for a child window, the object, 'X', clearly does exist in the logical tree so this must be a visual tree issue where the object is referenced before it has been rendered.
However we have been unsuccessful in our attempts to fix this issue by removing all visual states that relate to 'X' - the error still occurs.
Our only resolution is to catch the unhandled exception in the app code behind and handle it:

if (!System.Diagnostics.Debugger.IsAttached)
{
e.Handled = true;
if (!e.ExceptionObject.Message.Contains("TargetName X"))
{
Deployment.Current.Dispatcher.BeginInvoke(delegate { ReportErrorToDOM(e); });
}
}

New Post: Vertiacal/Horizontal offset problem when mouve window

avatarrr — Wed, 16 Nov 2011 10:31:26 GMT

Hi !

I am working with this useful extension, but i have a problem which i think you can resolve.

When i start (first time i show) a floatableWindow, the verticaloffset (and horizontal) i put, fit OK.

But, if I show the Fwindow, i mouve it (with mouse). When i put a new vertical/horizontal offset, and RE-Show the window, it is showed in the same place that i have mouved with the mouse. It doesnt fit with the new vertical/horizontal offset y have set.

To sum up:

my application, show 4 FWindows, in the places i have set, in a square shape, after this, you can move one (or more) of them, and i have put a button to REorganice the 4 FWindow in the original square.

but i cant due to the FWindows always go to the last place where it was mouved by the mouse.

Thanks!

New Post: Prevent dragging outside the container (non-modal mode)

farsight — Tue, 15 Nov 2011 06:01:51 GMT

Hi!

Is it possible to prevent dragging of FloatableWindow outside the specified container (ParentLayoutRoot is Grid) in non-modal mode? I want it to prevent hinding of window parts under the container border.

Thanks in advance!

Created Issue: Memory leak on Lost Focus [11368]

Galen2000 — Fri, 21 Oct 2011 07:23:06 GMT

When ChildWindow loses several time focus in ChildWindow_LostFocus method, application subscribe several times on Application.Current.RootVisual.GotFocus.
To improve this simply write next code before Application.Current.RootVisual.GotFocus subscription:
Application.Current.RootVisual.GotFocus -= new RoutedEventHandler(this.RootVisual_GotFocus);
So method ChildWindow_LostFocus will be:
private void ChildWindow_LostFocus(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
if (this.IsOpen && Application.Current != null && Application.Current.RootVisual != null)
{
this.InteractionState = WindowInteractionState.BlockedByModalWindow;
Application.Current.RootVisual.GotFocus -= new RoutedEventHandler(this.RootVisual_GotFocus);
Application.Current.RootVisual.GotFocus += new RoutedEventHandler(this.RootVisual_GotFocus);
}
}
