WPF window textbox - editing text affects differen

问题:

I am writing a Visual Studio extension for our Dev team (a VSIX solution). When the user activates the extension, they get a form which is a very simple WPF window. The window is loaded using the following code:

var myWindow = new SomeWpfWindow(myArgs)
{
    Owner = Application.Current.MainWindow
};
myWindow.Show();

This opens and displays a form that the user fills in. The form has lots of TextBoxes that undergo 2-way binding to the DataContext. Nothing too out of the ordinary.

Well, apart from the TextBox behaviour....

When I type characters in the textbox ("blah blah blah") then I see these characters displayed in the text box, and they also get written to the DataContext property that they're bound to.

However. When I press the back-space or delete button, then the text in the TextBox remains unchanged, but instead the window behind (in this case, the active code file) is edited. Not ideal behaviour....

I fixed this by using .ShowDialog() rather than .Show(), but is is the correct fix, or am I just burying the problem?

Thanks

VS doesn't really know about your window, and you'll run into problems with acceleratory keys and command routing.

The proper way to do this is to either implement a modal dialog (see my response to your other post regarding Microsoft.VisualStudio.PlatformUI.DialogWinodow).

Or you should implement a toolwindow.

Sincerely,

The solution provided above solved the problem described above, but it wasn't the complete solution. What I found was that, having closed my WPF Dialog Window, I was then able to type into a C# window in the open Solution, but not able to Delete or back-space to remove text. Also when I tried to close Visual Studio, it gave the following warning:

Microsoft Visual Studio has detected that an operation is blocking user input. This can be caused by an active modal dialog or a task that needs to block user interaction. Would you like to shut down anyway?
