I have a custom open source FrameworkElement on my GitHub page that allows you to display modal content over the primary content.

The control can be used like this:

    
            
                This is the primary Content
            
        
    

    
        
            This is the modal content
        
    

Features:

• Displays arbitrary content.
• Does not disable the primary content whilst the modal content is being displayed.
• Disables mouse and keyboard access to the primary content whilst the modal content is displayed.
• Is only modal to the content it is covering, not the entire application.
• can be used in an MVVM friendly way by binding to the IsModal property.
