radwindow dialog size
The default dialogs for the WPF RadWindow (Prompt, Alert, Confirm) do not seem to allow sizing of the content of the message. I have tried imbedding controls to set width and maxwidth, but I need to use a MaxWidth to prevent horizontal scrollbars. Ideally a Maxwidth parameter would be available allowing longer text message to spread out.

The code below works, but I'm restricted to a narrow dialog.

            Dim Scroller As New ScrollViewer
            Dim TextBlk As New Controls.TextBlock()
            With Scroller
                .HorizontalScrollBarVisibility = ScrollBarVisibility.Disabled
                .VerticalScrollBarVisibility = ScrollBarVisibility.Auto
                If Owner IsNot Nothing Then
                    .MaxHeight = (WPFScreen.GetScreenFromElement(Owner).WorkingArea.Height - 100) 'Do not use entire height
                Else
                    .MaxHeight = (WPFScreen.Primary.WorkingArea.Height - 300) 'Do not use entire height
                End If

                With TextBlk
                    .Margin = New Thickness(10)
                    .TextWrapping = TextWrapping.Wrap
                    .Text = Message
                    'We seem to be stuck with a fixed width available for our text.
                    'If this is increased a horizontal scrollbar appears.
                    .MaxWidth = 230
                End With
                .Content = TextBlk                  'Put textblock in scroller                 
            End With

            Dim RadDialog As New DialogParameters
            With RadDialog
                .Content = Scroller
                .DefaultPromptResultValue = DefaultValue        'Default prompt result
                .DialogStartupLocation = DialogStartupLocation
                .Header = Header
                .IconContent = IconContent
                If ThemeName.ToLower <> "expression_dark" Then ' *NoLoc*
                    .ModalBackground = m_SPIBackgroundBrush
                End If
                .Owner = Owner
                .Closed = New EventHandler(Of WindowClosedEventArgs)(AddressOf OnPromptClosed)  'Reference handler for response
                '.ContentStyle
                '.WindowStyle            
            End With

            RadWindow.Prompt(RadDialog)

Hi Larry,

Thanks for your feedback.

The desired functionality can be easily implemented by modifying the default ControlTemplate of the Prompt/Alert/Confirm in order to include a TextBlock with TextWrapping set to Wrap.
