In checking out the sample Windows Store Bing app “bingPushpin,” I see that this code:
private async void pushpinTapped(object sender, Windows.UI.Xaml.Input.TappedRoutedEventArgs e)
{
MessageDialog dialog = new MessageDialog("Hello from Seattle.");
await dialog.ShowAsync();
}
…causes a “MessageDialog” that spreads across the entire frame.
Surely this is not the Windows Store (nee “Metro”) way of doing it. How can you specify the MessageDialog takes up no more space than necessary?
The width will always occupy the client area and the height will be dependent on the amount of text that needs to be displayed.
