Add ShowMessageBoxRequest

[nazarenomanco]

@mauroservienti What about adding a ShowMessageBoxRequest to allow the user show the Windows Message Box?

Something like:

class ShowMessageBoxRequest 
{
    public string Message { get; set; }
    public string Caption { get; set; }
    public MessageBoxImage Icon { get; set; }
}

If needed I have the working code.

IMO this should not happen, the WPF MessageBox class has several options that the above sample does not take into account, the only option to deign it right is to leak the MessageBox class into the Radical code and worse to leak the MessageBox class into the ViewModel code, this should not happen. Given all the options the MessageBox has wrapping it in our own thing is not an option as well.

@micdenny thoughts?

For my personal point of view, I've stopped using messagebox because it sticks on a system component, and because it does not look and feel like a custom view. We usually have a custom modal view that over all the canvas using a Grid in a MainView, and yes we use messaging to open/close and interact with the modal view. I would not add this in radical.

What about introducing a custom message box thing that utilizes UI Composition to achieve a better result?

Similar to what the Splash Screen feature does

that could be interesting, injecting in a MainView or generally on a Grid if requested with some kind of attached property

That's really better... I have asked because in my program I have to interact with the user.
Your solution is for sure better than mine and allows the management of a Response that in my actual implementation is not possible to manage.

I'll study the splash sceen implementation.
