Auto showing tips and closing popup when lost focus
- by darkwindkey
I have two elements: a TextBox, and a Popup, where the popup contains a tree view to show some tips according to text of TextBox. When the textBox got the KeyDown Event, the KeyDown directly executes pup.IsOpen=true to show the popup tips.
However, I also want to show the popup tips when the mouse on clicking the TextBox, and auto closing the popups when the mouse click on any place (besides the TextBox and the TreeView in Popup).
I have tried some cases but do not works fine.
Case1: Add pup.IsOpen=true; in TextBox.PreviewMouseUp, the popup will stay opening, even if I click any other place in the window.
Case2: Add pup.IsOpen=true in TextBox.PreviewMouseDown, the popup tips only shows on keep clicking the Mouse.
Case3: Using CheckBox with Binding IsChecked to Popup.IsOpen works fine. but the tips is listed according to the content of the TextBox, therefore the checkbox is not editable for user...
Here is my code now:
<Window x:Class="popUpTesting.MainWindow"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
Title="MainWindow" Height="350" Width="525">
<Grid>
<TextBox
Name="SearchBox"
HorizontalAlignment="Center"
TextWrapping="Wrap"
Text="TextBox"
VerticalAlignment="Center"
KeyDown="SearchBox_KeyDown" PreviewMouseUp="SearchBox_PreviewMouseUp"
/>
<Popup
Placement="Bottom"
AllowsTransparency="True"
PopupAnimation="Fade"
StaysOpen="false"
x:Name="pup"
PlacementTarget="{Binding ElementName=SearchBox}"
IsOpen="False"
>
<Grid>
<TreeView HorizontalAlignment="Left" Height="200" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="200">
<TreeViewItem Header="A">
<TreeViewItem Header="A1"/>
</TreeViewItem>
<TreeViewItem Header="B"></TreeViewItem>
<TreeViewItem Header="C"></TreeViewItem>
<TreeViewItem Header="D"></TreeViewItem>
</TreeView>
</Grid>
</Popup>
</Grid>
</Window>
and the event functions:
private void SearchBox_KeyDown(object sender, KeyEventArgs e)
{
pup.IsOpen = true;
}
private void SearchBox_PreviewMouseUp(object sender, MouseButtonEventArgs e)
{
pup.IsOpen = true;
}
