I have a balloon tooltip control on a form. If the user enters incorrect information then the tooltip is displayed. The problem is if you display the tool tip and then hit the tab button the tooltip 'flips' over, is there any way to stop this behavior?
Seems to be standard behavior, was able to fix it using a var and testing to see if it was displayed already.

I have a tablepanellayout which has three child control (label, edit box, button).
I have defined access key(alt+somekey) on label.
But when i press access key focus is going to tablepanellayout then to edit box.
My goal is to move focus to edit box directly.
What I tried.
tried changing tabindex. didn't work.
thought to write focus handler for tablepanellayout and move foucs to edit control but shifttab won't work.
changed the order of adding child into tablepanellayout (label, editbox, button) no effect.
thought to change the tablepanellayout focus setting but didn't find any property whihc can do this.
How can move fouc to directly to editbox on pressing of access key and bypass focus to tablepanellayout?
EDIT: Screenshot from inpect tool
I got the solution.
As the tab is working fine only problem is with access key hence implemented gotfocus event handler which sets focus to text box.
We are showing an error message from the popup control.Message box is coming but it is coming behind the popup control. How do i make popup to go back or message box to come in front. It is with MVVM.
I don't think there's anything you can do about this.
Have a look at WPF Popup ZOrder
The solution suggested there is to implement your own popup control instead of using the inbuilt one, and just raise its Z index so it appears where you want it to.
https://gist.github.com/903202.. Just use this popup which is created using the existing popup control.
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.
When set a TooltipText on a control, and the tooltip text will be shown when user move mouse on the control. Tooltip will detect MouseEnter or MouseLeave or anything for this purpose?
I want to know how does a Tooltip show Popup on a control?
Assume that I have a user control with name 'UserControlX'. On UserControlX, I put a button and set Dock property to Fill. I add a UserControlX on Form1, add a ToolTip and set a text to this usercontrol. ToolTip will be not shown when user move mouse on control because user is moving mouse on usercontrol's button, not usercontrol, so the tooltip will never show.
Please help me how to solve this problem so that when move mouse on UserControlX, the tooltip will be shown. Thanks.
I believe the tooltip displaying on mouse-over is defined within the control's default template. if you view the default template you will likely see a reference to a tooltip in there. If you go further and view the Tooltip's default template, you will see how it is composed as well as what events it listens to.
To answer your question, you could do what Adrian suggests and put the tooltip on the button as well as the parent control.
If you have time to mess around a bit, you COULD try to see if there is a tooltip displayed event or something to that effect for the button, and then simply invoke the parent control's tooltip manually. It could be considered a hack, but worth a try, maybe.
I have a note editor control in my Windows Forms application:
alt text http://img82.imageshack.us/img82/2033/tabtohiddencontrol.png
I want to make this control accessible through the keyboard: I want to be able to TAB to it, TAB through the controls, and TAB out of it.
Normally this is an easy task, however, the issue is the hidden subject textbox. By design, the subject is editable only when the user clicks on the subject label.
When my control receives focus, I want to start editing the subject; make the subject text box visible and focused.
WinForms doesn't like this; my subject text box is hidden, and so WinForms skips over it when tabbing in and out of my control. How can I make this work?
You will have to add code in previous code's lostfocus (or keypress to check for TAB). And, you will have to add code in next control (after the label textbox) to check for Shift+TAB.
You could also add a label before Subject with mnemonic, so user can press ALT+S to reach there.
This is what I could think of right away.
Correct me, if I have not understood your question.
When the user clicks on the subject label, unhide the subject textbox and set the focus to it.
Controls must be visible and enabled to be part of the tab order; you cannot tab into a control that is invisible or disabled.
