How can I proceed only if the window I just opened is closed?

I have two WPF windows.
Window1's button calling Window2, Window2 updates something, and then I want to proceed exactly where I stopped in Window1.

This is the code in Window1 inside a button_Click: 

Window2 window = new Window2();
window.Show();
* wait until Window2 closes
//continue with other actions

How do I wait?

I saw this: wpf c# button wait for a button press
But how can I pass it from a different (already closed) window?

Use Window.ShowDialog method, it opens a window and and waits for window closing.

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.window.showdialog.aspx

Nullable<bool> dialogResult = window.ShowDialog();
// Test dialogResult: it is true if dialog was closed by OK button

Windows used as modal dialogs are usually contain OK and Cancel buttons, and programmed by such way, that pressing OK returns true from ShowDialog methid.

Use Window.ShowDialog() instead of Show(). This will open a modal window and will wait till it closes
