How to open a nonmodal child dialog that gets focused again when parent is refocused

I work on an MDI application where all Forms are opened as separate tabs.
I would like to open a dialog (non-modal) from one tabbed form which then sticks with this form.
I would like to have the dialog hide when another tab (form) is navigated to. But as soon as I navigate back to the form which opened the dialog, the dialog should be still visible as well.
Do I have to do this by hand? If I just show the dialog form like
form.Show(this)
where "this" is the parent form, the dialog just goes to the background when navigating away and is not focused again when navigating to the parent.

How to show a WPF modal window over a WPF popup?

I have a WPF app where I make my screen dark and show the user a popup for him to fill in some data.
One of the controls hosted in that popup might raise a modal window asking the user to confirm some validation results, when that modal is raised it doesn't show because the popup takes precedence in the UI.
Is there a way to force the modal be shown over the popup?

MDI app Menu Shortcut keys getting swallowed when form with WPF ElementHost is active

I have a Winforms MDI app, and my newest form is developed as a WPF UserControl hosted by a System.Windows.Forms.Integration.ElementHost.
I have found that when the MDI child with the WPF content is active, it appears to be swallowing the keyboard shortcuts defined in the main menu of the application (CTRL-F, CTRL-P, F3, for example). Is there a way to tell the WPF usercontrol to pass these keyboard events back up to the Winforms app so the menus get their keyboard shortcuts again?
