I am opening a popup in my application i want the user understand clearly that a popup is opened so for that i want to highlight the popup for that i want put the entire focus on the popup when it is opened.

Entire focus on the popup only indirectly making all other elements/ controls in the page look blur (as it looks when a popup comes in android).

Please let me know how can i work around this ?

Thanks in advance

take a lot at this.

ChildWindow

CodePlex ChildWindow

When you open a child window the parent window get disabled and the child gets focused. According to your title, this is the behavior you want.

You can prefer doing in this way ,

Make the grid or whatever ishittestvisbile property to false and make its opacaity to half , then you will automatcally get focus to the popup , after doing whatever operation on popup , then you can disable the popup and you can again set the ishittestvisbile poperty to true and also opacity 1.(this might work as a work around).
