C# WPF - Popup which doesn't get focused

Im simply trying to make a little popup which shows a message in the corner. This Popup shuld be at the top of every other Window which I achieved with "TopMost", but I can't seem to get the unfocusable thing to work...

My PopUp XAML:

<Window x:Class="message.Popup"
    xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
    xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
    xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008"
    xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006"
    xmlns:local="clr-namespace:message"
    mc:Ignorable="d"
    Title="Popup" Height="129.808" Width="300" Focusable="False" Topmost="True">
<Grid>
    <Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
        <ColumnDefinition Width="179*"/>
        <ColumnDefinition Width="113*"/>
    </Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
    <Label x:Name="label" Content="" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="10,40,0,0" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="272" Grid.ColumnSpan="2"/>

</Grid>

How I call it (from annother Window):

private void textBox_TextChanged(object sender, TextChangedEventArgs e)
{
      new Popup(textBox.Text).Show();
}

PopUp code:

public Popup(string text)
{
      InitializeComponent();

      label.Content = text;
}

you must define your Mainwindow as Owner of the Popup and center the StartupLocation Property. Something like this:

            PopUpWindow.Owner = MainWindow;
            PopUpWindow.WindowStartupLocation = WindowStartupLocation.CenterOwner;

Or if you are calling it from another window:

            PopUpWindow.Owner = this;
            PopUpWindow.WindowStartupLocation = WindowStartupLocation.CenterOwner;

However I must say: this is not MVVM, since you are storing text in the Window class, and I strongly recommend you start reading about MVVM.
