WPF window in front of another WPF window

I have a WPF-window, in this you can click a button to see a new window. Now I want to disable, that you can click the main-window. It should be like a MessageBox.

Try this:

 dialogYouNeedToShow.Owner = App.Current.MainWindow;
 dialogYouNeedToShow.ShowDialog();

ShowDialog will always show your dialog as a modal one, so you won't have access to background form.

Do you mean

MessageBox.Show()

or 

myWindowName.ShowDialog()

?

You want to use dialog.ShowDialog().

Modeless dialogs (via dialog.Show) are ones that you can interact with the background window. Modal dialogs (via dialog.ShowDialog() are ones that don't allow you to interact with the parent window.
