I have a Window with seven buttons; I use it as a menu in a simple game I am working on, but I display it as a dialog. How can I know which button user has pressed, since DialogResult in WPF only offers true, false and null?

If you're making a custom Window in this way, you don't really need to worry about DialogResult.
You can keep track of this in a property within your Window, and just read the property after the dialog is closed.
MyDialog window = new MyDialog();
if (window.ShowDialog() == false)
{
// user closed the window...
}
var choice = window.CustomPropertyContainingChoice;

Define your own enum and offer a static method to display the window that return your enum.
The code below does the same thing it is part of a window that allows users to review their changes and accept or cancel. As I only need true and false I used a bool however it would be trivial to change to an enum.
public static bool DisplayChanges(List<INormalizedMessage> LstMessages)
{
var retlist = LstMessages.Where(( INormalizedMessage NM ) => { return NM.Status != NormalizedMessageStatus.NoChange; });
ReviewChanges RC = new ReviewChanges();
RC.Messages = retlist.ToList();
RC.ShowDialog();
return RC.Result;
}
private void cmdCancle_Click( object sender, RoutedEventArgs e )
{
Result = false;
Hide();
}
private void cmdOK_Click( object sender, RoutedEventArgs e )
{
Result = true;
Hide();
}
