🛠️ Integration

Add to Your WPF Project

1. Add Project Reference:

   <ProjectReference Include="path\to\Barnamenevis.Net.RtlMessageBox.Wpf\Barnamenevis.Net.RtlMessageBox.Wpf.csproj" />
   

2. Update your code:

   // Replace this:
   MessageBox.Show("Hello", "Title");
   
   // With this:
   RtlMessageBox.Show("سلام", "عنوان");
   

3. Configure fonts (optional):

   // In App.xaml.cs or MainWindow constructor
   RtlMessageBox.PreferredFontName = "Vazirmatn FD";
   RtlMessageBox.PreferredFontPointSize = 11;
   

🚀 Quick Start Examples

Basic Usage

using Barnamenevis.Net.RtlMessageBox.Wpf;

// Simple information message
var result = RtlMessageBox.Show("عملیات با موفقیت انجام شد.", "موفقیت");

// Error message
var result = RtlMessageBox.Show(
    "خطا در اتصال به پایگاه داده رخ داد.",
    "خطا",
    MessageBoxButton.OK,
    MessageBoxImage.Error);

// Confirmation dialog
var result = RtlMessageBox.Show(
    "آیا مطمئن هستید که می‌خواهید این فایل را حذف کنید؟",
    "تأیید حذف",
    MessageBoxButton.YesNo,
    MessageBoxImage.Question);

if (result == MessageBoxResult.Yes)
{
    // Perform delete operation
    DeleteFile();
}

Advanced Configuration

// In App.xaml.cs
protected override void OnStartup(StartupEventArgs e)
{
    // Configure Persian fonts
    RtlMessageBox.PreferredFontName = "Vazirmatn FD";
    RtlMessageBox.PreferredFontPointSize = 12;
    RtlMessageBox.UseCustomTitleBar = true;
    RtlMessageBox.ApplyCustomFont = true;
    
    base.OnStartup(e);
}

📖 Best Practices

1. Font Setup: Use Persian fonts like Vazirmatn for optimal typography
2. Owner Windows: Always specify owner windows for modal behavior
3. Icon Usage: Use appropriate icons for message types
4. Text Length: Keep messages concise; the dialog will auto-size
5. Default Buttons: Let the library handle default button selection for better UX

🔗 Integration with FontInstaller

This library works seamlessly with Barnamenevis.Net.Tools.FontInstaller:

// In App.xaml.cs
protected override void OnStartup(StartupEventArgs e)
{
    // Install fonts first
    var installedCount = FontInstaller.InstallApplicationFonts();
    if (installedCount > 0)
    {
        Console.WriteLine($"✅ نصب شد {installedCount} فونت جدید");
    }
    
    // Configure RtlMessageBox to use installed font
    RtlMessageBox.PreferredFontName = "Vazirmatn FD";
    RtlMessageBox.ApplyCustomFont = true;
    
    base.OnStartup(e);
}

🎨 Customization Options

Font Customization

// Set Persian font
RtlMessageBox.PreferredFontName = "Vazirmatn FD";
RtlMessageBox.PreferredFontPointSize = 11;

// Enable custom title bar
RtlMessageBox.UseCustomTitleBar = true;

// Apply font to all elements
RtlMessageBox.ApplyCustomFont = true;

Theme Integration

// The MessageBox automatically adapts to system theme
// Dark mode, light mode, and high contrast themes are supported
var result = RtlMessageBox.Show(
    "این پیغام با تم سیستم سازگار است.",
    "سازگاری تم",
    MessageBoxButton.OK,
    MessageBoxImage.Information);
