New Post: ChildWindow changes

Hi,
I you want to have the ChilWindow in front of the other controls AND want to be able to edit the other controls, put the ChildWindow.IsModal to False. This way, the ChildWindow won't block the other controls...IsModal = true will block the other controls.

I try your code, with some small changes to simplify it, and putting the WindowContainer after the grid, make it worked as expected ;
The modalWindow blocks the other controls, until it is closed.

Here's the code I tried :

<Grid x:Name="MainGrid">

      <Grid>
            <Grid.RowDefinitions>
                <RowDefinition Height="35"/>
                <RowDefinition Height="*"/>
            </Grid.RowDefinitions>

            <Grid Grid.Row="0" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch">
                <Border BorderBrush="Gray" BorderThickness="0,0,0,0.1">
                    <ContentControl Background="#FFF5F5F5">
                        <ToolBar Height="35" 
                                 Background="Transparent" 
                                 IsTabStop="False" 
                                 ToolBarTray.IsLocked="True" 
                                 Name="DionysusToolbar" 
                                 HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" 
                                 VerticalAlignment="Stretch">
                            <ToolBar.Items>

                            </ToolBar.Items>
                        </ToolBar>

                    </ContentControl>
                </Border>
            </Grid>
            <Grid Grid.Row="1">
                <DockPanel LastChildFill="True">
                    <!--<odc:OutlookBar IsTabStop="False" NavigationPaneText="Expand navigationbar to view" DockPanel.Dock="Left" x:Name="OutlookBar" Width="300"
