Truly modal window possible?

Or would I have to do something like create a windows form and host the xaml inside it? Trying to get as consistent a look and feel as I can. If I can only do the latter, how do I achieve that?

This should be what you want:

var window = new MyWindow();
var helper = new WindowInteropHelper(window);
helper.Owner = this.Handle;
window.ShowDialog();

This is the key to ensuring correct behaviour upon minimise/restore. See this blog post for more information about the method.

(If this isn't quite what you need, perhaps you could define "truly modal".)

You can create custom dialog boxes, and they're modal. You can host a WPF Window within it and define buttons as modal closing buttons. That seems to be the best way to do a modal window, IMO.
