Remarks

When you call this method with the ContentDialogPlacement.Popup parameter value, the dialog is rooted in the PopupRoot element of the XAML Window. This is the default behavior, and is equivalent to calling the ShowAsync method with no parameters.

When you call this method with the ContentDialogPlacement.InPlace parameter value:

  • If the dialog has a parent element, the dialog is rooted in the parent's visual tree. It's shown inline along with the parent’s other child elements, and participates in the parent container’s layout.
  • If the dialog has no parent, the dialog falls back to the default behavior and is shown in the PopupRoot.
