Plugin Window with .Show() disables DataGrid Ctrl+C function .ShowDialog() doesn't

Question

I'm working on a plugin dll for Revit. If I render the main window with .Show() the DataGrid lose it's function to be copied by pressing Ctrl+C. However if I use .ShowDialog() Ctrl+C works fine. I do not want the window to be modal and want to use .Show() method.

Do you have any idea how to correct Ctrl+C function with .Show() method? Thanks

I believe that the key is to make your form a child of the Revit process.
