Answer 1

Yes, put everything in a grid followed by another grid containing the message box. The rest is up to you to show and hide the message box and style it. The grid with the background makes everything un-interactable.

<Grid>
    <!--Everything-->
    <Grid Background="#6666">
        <Border Background="White" VerticalAlignment="Center" Padding="10">
            <StackPanel HorizontalAlignment="Center" MinWidth="300">
                <TextBlock Text="My Title"/>
                <WrapPanel HorizontalAlignment="Right">
                    <Button Content="Ok"/>
                    <Button Content="Cancel"/>
                </WrapPanel>
            </StackPanel>
        </Border>
    </Grid>
</Grid>

I think you may want to use the FlyoutControl for this. DevExpress has a nice example of using it in a modal form in their How To: Create a Modal Message Box Flyout documentation.

Answer 3

With DevExpress you are probably looking at either:

• WinUIMessageBox
• WinUIDialogWindow

Both can be found at this link.
