Can anyone suggest a way to get around not being able to use DateTimePicker control in Popup? If I click on the datetimepicker "dropdown" control, the datetimepicker "selection" control shows up. Then when I try to select a date with a mouse click, the popup disappears and the date doesn't even change.

The popup control was just what I needed. I'm using it of info, warnings and temporal results.
Thank you!

Hello,
Okay, there's a change I want to include into the popup control however I am struggling to justify the change is suitable for this control. Maybe you can guide me on this...
Once a popup control show itself it keeps a focus until user leaves and the focus is move onto another control. That's what popup control does, notify/show to user willingly when the need arises.
The way i used it was i made the popup control to become a mini data entry form, it pops up when a user selects a item amongst a list of items. Then user can quickly enter data and when the DropDownClosed event is invoke, it updates the changes back to the list. Here's the catch, I want to make sure the user want to commit to the change by having a ENTER button on the popup. When the ENTER is clicked, then do the changes. So, you can think of it like a modal dialog, because it will always pass back a DialogResult. This way you know for sure if the user wants to commit or not.
My question is do i create a method ShowDialog() for Popup.cs that add the modal dialog behavior to the popup? or should i just check for boolean variable instead (pseudo code is provided below)
eg.
Popup.Show();
// enter data into the popup
// popup_DropDownClosed() is called
private void popup_DropDownClosed() {
// check to see if the enter button is clicked
if(isClicked) {
// update changes
}
}

It seems to me an excellent job, but I can not develop an amendment to be able to recognize the event popup.Show(), from inside the UserControl.
The event "MyBase.Load" makes loading only the first time it is open, as I need to be updated of those depending on data in some form or panel from which appears POPUP, and "… Handles popup.DropDown" understands that has been opened, but no good and then activate a function Shared contained in UserControl.

Several people asked me whether they can put this library in their application.
This article and the code attached is Public Domain.
So you can use it, in any application including a commercial application.
You can make changes to the code, you don't have to make the source public.
You don't have to report your modifications and you don't have to credit me.
You are encouraged to send me or in this forum any feedback or bug fix you might have found but is not an obligation.
I hope it clarify the situation.

Hi,
I would like to congratulate you for authoring this control, this is really awesome, simply marvelous!
How do you come up with such ideas, and how do you execute them, is it because you are really good with the language?

Hi,
I would like to make your control to suit my needs. I know you may or may not reply this message. I am hoping you do reply, and my question is how to modify your control to allow point focus and activated on parent control when the popup is showing.
For example,
(C#)
ListBox listbox = new ListBox();
listbox.Width = 200;
listbox.Height = 200;
popup = new Popup(listbox, textBox1); // textBox1 is a regular Textbox
The way I want to use the control is to emulate search box on Google.com or MSN.com, when the user types inside a textbox, a corresponding search result showing in listbox display.
Right now, your control seems to retain focus and prevent the user from typing on the textbox.
And, can i ask you (or someone on codeproject) to show me how to show the popup while allowing the focus to be on parent control.

u may check this http://www.codeproject.com/useritems/simplepopup.asp
but only disadvantage is you don't have the resize option. but its a
neat solution to solve the focus problem.

Hi,
thanks for this code - it's great...
One question - how can I make it popup on custom coordinates, for example inside a textbox, using Cursor.Position?
Thanks in advance!

Hi
Me and My team is developing an ERP System and find that your source is helpful. We were wondering if there are any restrictions in using your source? We plan to build a dll from it and use it with the Project. Please let us know if there are any restrictions and if so let us know what we can do to use it.

How can you avoid the black flickering when showing the popup with popup.Show() with popup.opacity < 1.0f?
DoubleBuffered=true (in usercontrol) doesnt help here

I was just browsing around and ran up on your code. I downloaded it and tried it out. I really like it. It has kind of gave me an idea of how do something that I have been trying to gigure out. You know how you have pinned controls in Visual Studio, for instance the toolbox, if it is unpinned it will collapse when it loses focus. I have been wanting to implement this same behavior in one of my apps for a while in order to increase real-estate on my form. Thanks for sharing the code and nice work.

I am a beginner.I couldn't understand the interface IPopupUserControl.In the sub:
Protected Overrides Sub OnDeactivate(ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
MyBase.OnDeactivate(e)
If mClosing = False Then
If TypeOf Me.mPopup.mUserControl Is IPopupUserControl Then
mClosing = DirectCast(Me.mPopup.mUserControl, IPopupUserControl).AcceptPopupClosing()
Else
mClosing = True
End If
If mClosing Then DoClose()
End If
End Sub
I have questions as follows:
1、I don't know In any case the type of mUserControl would equal
IPopupUserControl
2、I think that AcceptPopupClosing is never been set value,because there is no value was endowed with it.
I would really appriciate if you tell me.

Hello Great control.
You can use ControlPaint.DrawSizeGrip in ResizingPanel_Paint event instead of a picture.

Is there any way to get the parent form to retain its focused appearance? When the pop-up appears, the parent form title bar greys out, unlike behaviour when a combo drops down or a menu opens.
