# Dialogs

## Purpose

The `DTS.Common.Dialogs` namespace provides infrastructure for displaying modal and non-modal dialogs within a WPF application, specifically designed to work with the Prism framework's `InteractionRequest` patterns. It bridges the gap between view-model interaction requests and actual window display via `PopupWindowAction`, supports region management within popups through `IRegionManagerAware`, and offers specialized window implementations for confirmations and notifications. Additionally, it provides a managed wrapper around the Win32 `SHBrowseForFolder` API for folder selection dialogs.

## Public Interface

### Interfaces

*   **`IRegionManagerAware`**
    *   **Property:** `IRegionManager RegionManager { get; set; }`
    *   **Behavior:** Allows a view or data context to receive a scoped `IRegionManager` when hosted inside a popup window created by `PopupWindowAction`.

*   **`IPopupWindowActionAware`**
    *   **Properties:**
        *   `Window HostWindow { get; set; }`
        *   `Notification HostNotification { get; set; }`
    *   **Behavior:** Allows a view or data context to access the host window instance and the notification context that triggered the popup.

### Classes

*   **`ConfirmationEx`** (inherits `Confirmation`)
    *   **Properties:**
        *   `MessageBoxButton Buttons { get; set; }` (Default: `MessageBoxButton.OKCancel`)
        *   `MessageBoxImage Image { get; set; }` (Default: `MessageBoxImage.Question`)
        *   `MessageBoxResult Result { get; set; }`
    *   **Behavior:** Extends the standard `Confirmation` class to include specific button configurations, image types, and a result property for dialog outcomes.

*   **`ConfirmationWindow`**
    *   **Constructors:** `public ConfirmationWindow()`
    *   **Properties:**
        *   `DataTemplate ConfirmationTemplate` (Dependency Property)
    *   **Methods:**
        *   `public void Connect(int connectionId, object target)` — *Implementation throws `NotImplementedException`.*

*   **`NotificationWindow`** (inherits `Window`)
    *   **Constructors:** `public NotificationWindow()`
    *   **Properties:**
        *   `DataTemplate NotificationTemplate` (Dependency Property)
        *   `Uri ImageUri` (Dependency Property; Default: `pack://application:,,,/.../warning_48.png`)
    *   **Methods:**
        *   `public void Connect(int connectionId, object target)` — *Implementation is empty.*

*   **`PopupWindowAction`** (inherits `TriggerAction<FrameworkElement>`)
    *   **Nested Types:** `enum WindowPositions` (`CenterOwner`, `CenterScreen`)
    *   **Properties (Dependency Properties):**
        *   `FrameworkElement WindowContent`
        *   `DataTemplate ContentTemplate`
        *   `bool IsModal`
        *   `WindowPositions StartupPosition` (Default: `CenterScreen`)
        *   `bool CenterOverAssociatedObject` — *Note: Usage appears commented out in logic.*
        *   `bool AllowMultipleNotificationWindows`
    *   **Methods:**
        *   `protected override void Invoke(object parameter)`: Executes the trigger, creates the window, sets up positioning, and shows it (modal or non-modal).
        *   `protected void PrepareContentForWindow(Notification notification, Window wrapperWindow)`: Injects `RegionManager`, `HostWindow`, and `HostNotification` into the view if the view or its DataContext implements the aware interfaces.
        *   `protected Window GetWindow(Notification notification)`: Factory method returning a generic window or a specific `ConfirmationWindow`/`NotificationWindow`.
        *   `protected Window CreateWindow(Notification notification)`: Creates the specific window instance based on notification type.

*   **`BrowseForFolderDialog`**
    *   **Constructors:** `public BrowseForFolderDialog()` (Sets default flags to `BIF_NEWDIALOGSTYLE`)
    *   **Properties:**
        *   `string SelectedFolder`
        *   `string Title`
        *   `string InitialFolder`
        *   `string InitialExpandedFolder`
        *   `string OKButtonText`
        *   `BROWSEINFOW BrowseInfo`
        *   `BrowseInfoFlags BrowserDialogFlags`
    *   **Methods:**
        *   `public Nullable<bool> ShowDialog()`
        *   `public Nullable<bool> ShowDialog(Window owner)`
    *   **Nested Types:**
        *   `enum BrowseInfoFlags` (Flags enum for `BIF_*` constants)
        *   `class BROWSEINFOW` (Win32 structure wrapper)
        *   `enum MessageFromBrowser`
        *   `enum MessageToBrowser`
        *   `delegate int BrowseCallbackProc(...)`

## Invariants

1.  **Window System Menu Removal:** Both `ConfirmationWindow` and `NotificationWindow` will always have the `WS_SYSMENU` style bit removed during `SourceInitialized`. This effectively hides the system menu and the close button on the title bar.
2.  **Region Management:** If `PopupWindowAction` creates a window with `WindowContent`, and that content does not already have a `RegionManager`, a new scoped `RegionManager` is automatically created and attached.
3.  **Parent Check:** `PopupWindowAction.Invoke` will return and do nothing if `WindowContent` is already part of a visual tree (i.e., `WindowContent.Parent` is not null).
4.  **Notification Content Requirement:** When `PopupWindowAction` creates a `NotificationWindow` (no `WindowContent` provided), the `Notification.Content` property must be castable to `NotificationContentEventArgs`; otherwise, the method returns `null` and no window is displayed.
5.  **Modal vs Non-Modal:** If `IsModal` is true, `ShowDialog()` is called; otherwise, `Show()` is called.
