Ok. Yeah from the exception it failed instantiating the view. I see you are doing Silverlight, so in that case the MainView should not be a RadWindow. I thought you were doing WPF. Change it back to UserControl. The CustomDialogView is only used for the popups.]]> Thu, 17 Jan 2013 17:11:51 -700 http://www.ideablade.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3892&PID=15628#15628 Cocktail and Telerik Radwindows : Ah damn found the error sorry... http://www.ideablade.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3892&PID=15627#15627 Author: decoda

Ah damn found the error sorry since i thought the CustomDialogView will become the mainwindow i had put in the codebehind, thanks it working now

[CODE]
Application.Current.MainWindow = ((Window)this.ParentOfType<Window>());
Application.Current.MainWindow.ShowInTaskbar = true;

I thought that the CustomDialogView will be used for mainwindow, i changed MainwindowView to radwindow but still the exception pops up

What's the exception? The only thing that stands out at the moment is that your MainWindow is a UserControl and should be a RadWindow.

After I posted this I realized that you probably have to customize the XAML for Silverlight, too, if you develop for Silverlight. Both Window and ChildWindow are meant to be the root of a visual tree and don't behave properly as far as I remember if they are nested in another control.

It's been a while since I did this integration for a customer, so if you are running into trouble let me know.

No, there is no official sample. However, we have several customers that use Cocktail with Telerik. You don't need to compile Cocktail with Caliburn.Micro.Telerik. CMT is complimentary to CM and you can simply add it to your project, install the conventions by calling TelerikConventions.Install() in StartRuntime of your bootstrapper and replace the WindowManager with the TelerikWindowManager as documented here.
 
http://drc.ideablade.com/devforce-2012/bin/view/Documentation/cocktail-application-bootstrapper#HReplacingthedefaultEventAggregator2CWindowManagerorDialogManager
 
You wouldn't use Alert, Confirm, Prompt as that functionality is provided by the Cocktail DialogManager.
 
http://drc.ideablade.com/devforce-2012/bin/view/Documentation/cocktail-dialog-manager
 
By replacing the default WindowManager with the TelerikWindowsManager, the DialogManager will use the RadWindow for the popups.
 
If you are doing WPF, I believe you will need to customize the dialog host XAML as documented here, because the default XAML uses Window, which the TelerikWindowManager will then attempt to wrap in a RadWindow.
 
http://drc.ideablade.com/devforce-2012/bin/view/Documentation/cocktail-dialog-manager#HCustomizingthedialoghost
 
The default XAML looks like follows, so you want to change Window to RadWindow and make any other necessary changes.
