WPF Modern UI - DialogResult with Icon

Question

My question is related to the Modern UI template for WPF Desktop applications. My goal is to create a DialogResult with an icon image.

ModernDialog Dialog = new ModernDialog();
Dialog.Title = "DIALOG EXAMPLE";
Dialog.Buttons = new Button[] { Dialog.OkButton, Dialog.CancelButton};
Dialog.Content = "Testing a new DialogResult";
Dialog.ShowDialog();
//Dialog.Icon = ???;

The code above will create the following DialogResult window:

I am looking for something similar to the MessageBoxImage value:

I must use the DialogResult to fit the content with my Modern UI interface... any ideas on how insert an image file/SVG ?

Thank you.

The Icon property is used to set the image of the window in the taskbar it isn't meant for that, to achieve what you are looking for you need to

• add a new ModernDialog page, that should be easy since you are using the VS modern UI template

• Customize the messageDialog through its xaml and make it looks the way that you want

  <mui:ModernDialog x:Class="ModernUIApp1.ModernDialogMessage"                  xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
            xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
            xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006" 
            xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008" 
            xmlns:mui="http://firstfloorsoftware.com/ModernUI"
            mc:Ignorable="d" 
            d:DesignHeight="300" d:DesignWidth="300"
            Title="DIALOG EXAMPLE" >
    <Grid>
      <Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
        <ColumnDefinition Width="Auto"/>
        <ColumnDefinition Width="*"/>
      </Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
      <Image Source="imageIcon.jpg" Width="40"></Image>
      <TextBlock  Grid.Column="1" Text="Testing a new DialogResult"   VerticalAlignment="Center" HorizontalAlignment="Left"></TextBlock>
    </Grid>
  </mui:ModernDialog>
  

• show it when needed

   var msg = new ModernDialogMessage();
   msg.ShowDialog();
