Trying to call mahapps ShowMessageAsync() from SimpleChildWindow causes exception

[JohnFredMeyer]

I am trying to use Mahapps ShowMessageAsync() to have a confirmation dialog for item in SimpleChildWindow. When trying to call the ShowMessageAsync() from the child window I get an exception.

System.InvalidOperationException
  HResult=0x80131509

Is this possible or can you not call dialog from child window? I can perform nested child windows without issue. So I can use another child window as work around and pass back a bool. Thanks.

@JohnFredMeyer @Martin-Pucalka This issue will be fixed at MahApps itself. I will close this issue then.
