✅ ✅ Creating a popup on MainWindow
https://github.com/mekasu0124/Todo
This is the repo for my todo app. I'm wanting to figure out how to create a popup window that will do the following each time the application is loaded.
1. Check the current version of the app that user has against the latest version of the github repo
- If the versions match, continue normal usage
- If the versions do not match, then the popup will overshadow the home screen. I'd like for the popup to be the main focus and like blur out the background (home screen)
2. In the popup, it says something like
-
- The user has the option of clicking Update or Cancel.
- Cancel will close the entire application
- Update will grab the files that it needs to do the update from the repo and being the installation process
3. Installation process
- When the application begins to update, I would like for the application to close, and a loading screen show up. This loading screen will have a progress bar and show the progress of the update, and show how much time is remaining until the update is complete.
4. Once the update is complete, I'd like for the loading screen to close, and the application to relaunch itself to open back up.
I've never done loading screens, popups, nor anything else relative to this thought process and what's needed to accomplish it and I'm still new to both C# and Avalonia so it'll be a learning process for me, but I figured if I could learn it with this simple application, then I can apply that learning to other applications I build in the future. Thanks in advance.
