Make it possible to add "No" button to the predefined RadWindow.Confirm dialog without the need of custom Template.

Maximizing RadWindow from the header button shows a window with the size of the content if SizeToContent = true. If you maximize with double click on header it is ok.

As a user of the RadWindow control I want to be able to close it only by setting the DialogResult property without calling the Close method so that I can use it easily in MVVM scenarious.

The default Window control exposes an TaskbarItemInfo (https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.window.taskbariteminfo%28v=vs.110%29.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396) which is useful for manipulating the taskbar item of the Window instance.

When creating themed applications using RadControls, the standard Windows MessageBox control looks out of place.  With that in mind, the predefined RadWindows (Alert and Confirm) seem to be natural replacements for a typical MessageBox.  

However, when these dialogs open, they are silent  That is, they don't play any error, warning, or question sounds like the standard MessageBox - which makes them seem "strange" when used as a replacement.

Adding sounds to (for instance) the Alert window is fairly simple and can be accomplished like this:

RadWindow.Alert(new DialogParameters()
{
    Content = new System.Windows.Controls.TextBlock {
        Text = ex.Message, Width = 250, TextWrapping = TextWrapping.Wrap },
    Header = "Update Error",
    Opened = (alertDialog, eventArgs) => System.Media.SystemSounds.Exclamation.Play()
});

Though, it'd be nice if the ability to play a sound was built-in.  I'd suggest that the DialogParameters class used to customize the predefined dialogs be extended to support a SystemSound member of type System.Media.SystemSounds which, if defined, would play the specified sound when the dialog opens.

As a workaround you can set:  window.CaptionHeight= 0;

As a developer I want to be able to open a modal window that doesn't block the thread so that calling thread stays active while the modal dialog is open (like in Silverlight and XBAP). Create a blog post demonstrating how to use the Show method to simulate this behavior.

It can be reproduced with the Show method of the window or with Dock, ToolWindows and the save - load functionality.

There should be an easy method to add/override the shadow of a RadWindow. Either via XAML attributes or code behind.

<telerik:RadWindow x:Class="MyRadWindow"
        xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
        xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
        xmlns:telerik="http://schemas.telerik.com/2008/xaml/presentation"
        Header="Settings" WindowStartupLocation="CenterOwner" SizeToContent="True" ResizeMode="NoResize" MinWidth="500" MaxWidth="900"    DropShadowOverride="True" DropShadowOverrideBlurRadius="10" DropShadowOverrideDirection"-90", DropShadowOverrideDepth="3" DropShadowOverrideColor="White">
     
    <Grid>
 
    <!-- UI code -->
 
    </Grid>
 
</telerik:RadWindow>

This is WPF only and not applicable for Silverlight.

As a <role> I want <ability> so that <benefit>.

Provide out of box text wrapping in predefined dialogs.

All Windows messageboxes from Win95 have this possibility. 
Telerik in 2018 does not have this possibility, except through additional templates and additional code. 

Why to buy 

To resolve this remove the MinWidth setting. You can set it back when the window is restored.

private double myMinWidth;
private void Window_WindowStateChanged(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
            var window = (RadWindow)sender;
            if (window.WindowState == WindowState.Minimized)
            {
                this.myMinWidth = window.MinWidth;
                window.MinWidth = 0;
            }
            else
            {
                window.MinWidth = this.myMinWidth;
            }
}

When the Window is opening or resizing and Winforms controls are placed inside its content the content flickers.
