Examples

The following example shows how to show a modal dialog that does only disable it's parent window.

        var arguments = new OverlayArguments(sourceContent);

        using (overlayEffect.Apply(arguments))
        {
            // this would overlay only the source window defined by sourceContent but ShowDialog disables
            // all windows in the UI thread. So this is not the right way!!
            //window.ShowDialog();

            // this will only disable overlaid windows
            window.ShowDialogOverlayAware();
        }

        // this will do the overlaying and correctly disable only overlayed windows.
