Silverlight - 模式对话框

 一直认为Telerik Silverlight RadWindow控件的ShowDialog()方法会显示一个模式对话框(modal dialog) - 就像System.Windows.MessageBox.Show方法一样。但是，那不是一个真正的模式对话框：ShowDialog()方法不是同步等待窗口关闭后再返回，而是异步的，即执行后马上返回，继续执行后续代码。

 

来自Telerik 论坛的回复：

 

This is a limitation of Silverlight, since there is no way you can stop the execution thread and get synchronous results. This is one of the reason our RadWindow doesn't work synchronously

真正的模式对话框还是那个System.Windows.MessageBox.Show 可是界面不敢恭维。该方法调用了Silverlight的Core代码：

 

[DllImport("agcore", EntryPoint="MessageBox_ShowCore", CharSet=CharSet.Unicode)]
private static extern uint MessageBox_ShowCoreNative(IntPtr context, [MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.LPWStr)] string messageBoxText, [MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.LPWStr)] string caption, uint type, out int result);

 

然后Core又调用了OS的平台方法？因为msdn中有如下描述：

 

The message box may have a slightly different appearance on different platforms. For example, the message box includes an icon when it is displayed on a Macintosh.

似乎这个还有一个问题：有人发现这个会阻断WCF的调用BackgroundWorker上的线程
