Is there a proper mvvm way to show CustomMessageBox from the view and get callback from it?
This sample is quite nice, but it uses hardcoded MessageBoxButton (only Yes/No/YesNo are avaivable, but i need custom buttons).
This contains lots ofuseful info about Messages in MvvmLight, but DialogMessage is also showing only YesNo sample (also no custom buttons).
Figured out that Cimbalino toolkit (Cimbalino saves the day again!) has quite nice custom messagebox.

Is it possible to add a picture to a messagebox in C# besides the customized buttons?
or
How do I put the picture I want as a custom Icon?
It is not possible.
Instead you can use a Form to show the image. You message box will be just like any other form in your application.
It is useful to have such type of facility while coding with C#, but reality is it is not as relevant as we think.
a good practice is to use Forms instead of putting things in MessageBox.
Try it I hope it helps !!
I am using the asp.net Repeater control. (My company is heavily invested in that, so I can't change it.)
I need a way to create a poup edit window, specific to the row the user clicked on in the repeater, so the user can edit the data in that record.
We have the Telerik controls to use, but I don't know which one. I saw the radwindow, but can find no examples of using it in a repeater. Frankly, Telerik documentation is confusing.
I prefer to use client-side code, ajax and web-services. I'd like to prevent post-backs.
1) Please give me a reference to a specific example of using the Telerik radwindow inside a repeater for this purpose.
OR
2) Clue me in to a better idea.
Thank you.
I don't think there are explicit examples with an asp Repeater, but I found this one with a GridView. The approach should be the same, as it is just another databound control - it shows an easy way to open a RadWindow on the client by passing some parameters (it is actually not possible to open it on the server, it is a client-side object).
Some more complex examples I found on their site here and here. They both update a grid, yet they show a nice way to use AJAX to prevent a full postback.
I'm looking for a way to have a hyperlink that's inside my messagebox.show() be something the user can click on. Is it possible to build this behavior in if I subclass Messagebox?
EDIT: Tried to keep things simple, here is more detail.
This is not possible through the standard message box offered in wp7. The best way is to create your own message box. This is pretty simple, you can follow the example in my blog post. My blog does not explain adding a hyperlink, but this can be easily done by adding the hyperlink into the control and add another parameter to the Show method.
What is the best way to create a view for a single control that I need to load into a Shell region in a Prism app. I know I can wrap the control in a UserControl, but I suspect there may be a better way.
I am working on a demo app to learn Prism 4. Each module will load a navigation button into an ItemsControl in a region in the Shell. These navigation buttons will function like the Mail, Calendar, and other buttons in Outlook.
I am creating the view in each module that will hold the module's navigation button. The simplest way to create the view seems to be to wrap it in a UserControl. My question is this: Is there a better way to do it? Thanks for your help.
If you need graphical control, what you are doing is the way to go. If you find yourself making all of the buttons look the same (copy - pasting) you might find that a menu registration service is the way to go.
You'd have a service like IMenuService that you register with your container and modules can come around and register menu items to. You can then create buttons for the module. I've provided a sample for this here:

Your question, though, seems to be about whether or not you need to wrap a control in a UserControl to register them with a region? If that's the question, I believe the answer is no, although you might amend your question to tell us what you are running up against that makes you think this.
I ended up wrapping the control in a UserControl, and it seems to work fine. I am still interested in seeing if there is a better way to load the button, so I will hold this question open for a few days.
Edit 02/22/2011: I tried using a control without a UserControl wrapper, and I got the following error:
Library project file cannot specify ApplicationDefinition element.
I wrapped the control in a UserControl and the error went away.
I'm making a Cocoa application, and I would like a panel like the 'Attributes Inspector' in Interface Builder. So with big tabs on the top and collapsable/expandable groups. Does anyone know how I can do this?
This is an image of the Attributes Inspector:

So I actually want to make a window like the one shown in the image above.
InspectorKit is FOSS on github.
There's no built-in Cocoa controls to do this. You're going to have to write some custom views which replicate the functionality.
There some good advice for creating custom controls in the answers to this question: Looking for info on custom drawing of interface components (Cocoa)
If you need additional help, I recommend you ask smaller, more specific questions explaining what you've tried and what hasn't worked.
I've written some custom classes to do this- it ended up being less work than I expected. I broke it down into two separate components which can be used independently- the first handles the icons at the top and performs the view switching and the second handles the expandable panes:
