DialogWindow Class

The base class for all Visual Studio WPF (non-Gel) dialogs. When you implement a WPF dialog, you should derive from this class in order to have consistent styling with other Visual Studio dialogs, as well as help support. To display the dialog, call the ShowModal method, which correctly parents the dialog in the shell, puts the shell in a modal state while the dialog is displayed, and other features.
