I'm wondering how to disable interacting with the panel, so I can click on the listbox behind it?
I would like, when I click on the location of the panel, that the program does not recognize it but clicks on the listbox behind it.
Most users would first click a colored panel, rather than text from a listbox.
Now I have a problem because when the user clicks on the panel, nothing will happen.

How does it look like, Click desination
Thanks.
I succeeded, the solution is so simple:
panel.Enabled = false;

I have prepared one dropdown user control with a searching feature using textbox, panel, and checked listview.
when I click on down arrow PictureBox or in the displayed textbox, the listview panel will open as dropdown, and based on the mouse click I hiding and showing checked listview panel.
Now, when I put my user control within any panel and an open dropdown that time my user control's listview panel is going backside of the parent control/panel as I shown in the screen.
Please Help me.
I have an "On screen keypad" with some up/down/left/right/select buttons.
The select button is effectively a click and the arrow keys fire the associated up/down/left/right key.
The problem is that when selecting a combo box, I can't press the down/up buttons to navigate the items in the list. It is because the combo box auto closes when loosing focus. I can see similar problems happening with other controls, so I would like to see if there is a way to do the following.
For certain buttons (up/down/etc), when clicked, fire the click event, but don't take focus from w/e currently has the focus. This would allow the combox dropdown to stay open while pressing up/down to navigate through the items.
I have tried to set Focusable=False on the navigation buttons but the focus is still taken away from the combo box and the dropdown closes.
Any ideas/suggestions?
Thanks in advance
This isn't happening because of anything your Buttons are doing so changing their focus state won't make any difference. ComboBoxes close when you click anywhere outside of them, including empty space, non-interactive controls, other windows...
Well, I have a Button on my Window.
The following describes what I would like to do:
Touching the Button with the Mouse (I assume, the best event would be MouseMove), should open a new DropDown at the Button. (Something similiar like a Combobox DropDown)
This Dropdown will be filled with data, and each item is an event (item will show the name of the event as string in the DropDown), which calls a method that I'm at the other hand determining over Reflection.
What I actually would like to know, is, if it is even possible, to accomplish this task?
Creating a new DropDown at or beside the button, when the user touches the Button with the Mouse?
How would you do that?
You could create a Context Menu and display it on the buttons Mouse Enter Event.
See MSDN ContextMenu for more information.
The Extended Wpf Toolkit got something like that:
DropDownButton
For touch I think the closest event is mouse enter and mouse leave. And could you not just have a ComboBox or ListBox and manipulate the visibility (on the mouse enter and mouse leave events). For mouse leave would need to be on panel with both the button and DropDown.
I have a label that I need to stay on top of my TabControl as I switch from tab to tab. I have tried calling the Label's BrintToFront method in the SelectedIndexChanged Event of the Tab Control but this has no effect. I also simply tried right clicking my label in design view and selecting "Bring to Front" but again, this had no effect.
When I switch to my second tab it drops behind the TabControl however, when I go back to my first tab it is in front again.
I placed the label itself on the Form rather than on the TabControl.
I am working in C#. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
You should make sure that your label is not located inside a specific tab. To verify this you need to look at the nesting inside the 'document outline' (ctl+alt+T)
If it is I recommend;
dragging it just outside the tab control (you can also use the document outline).
then 'bring it to the front'.
and then use the arrow keys, or location property, to move it back into position.
I am trying to replicate an intellisense like feature where you have a textbox and a menu that's shown below it. I know intellisense doesn't use ContextMenuStrip, but my version has to have categories which are sub-menu items.
So as soon as the user clicks into my TextBox, I bring up the menu below once, but then even though I can see the caret in my TextBox it doesn't receive any key inputs. I have to click inside the TextBox again but that removes the menu from the screen.
Is there a way to prevent this? Or perhaps make the menu persistent on the screen without stealing focus?
ToolStrip control with items added to it seems to work since it's always on the form.
