public class PopupControlContainer : Panel, IPopupControlContainer, IPopupChild, INeedKeyboardMessages, INeedMouseMoveMessages, IMouseHookHLProcClient, IKeyboardProcHookClient, IPopupParent, IPopupItem

Remarks

To design a custom popup, drag-and-drop it off the toolbox into a form during design-time. Then populate it with appropriate controls just like you would any other panel. You can mark it as invisible (Visible = false) so that it will not interfere with the form's layout mechanism. It's also recommended that you unparent it from the design-time parent in your form constructor code, as shown in the sample code below.

When you are ready to popup, call this class's ShowPopup(Point) method. This will show the popup at the specified location.

There are different configurations in which you can use this PopupControlContainer.

When you specify a Parent Control using ParentControl and pass a Point.Empty location to ShowPopup(Point), the popup location will be dynamically determined based on the ParentControl's bounds and the screen area.

When the popup is showing, the PopupControlContainer, in the ProcessDialogKey override will look for Alt, Enter, Tab, Esc, F4, and F2 keys and either cancel or close the popup. If you want to prevent this, then set IgnoreDialogKey to False. You should then make sure to close the popup manually whenever appropriate using HidePopup(PopupCloseType).

The PopupControlContainer also fires the BeforePopup, Popup(after popup) and CloseUp events that you can handle. You could for example set the focus on a control within the PopupControlContainer in the popup event handler.

Examples

The following example has a PopupControlContainer that gets shown when the user does an Alt+DownArrow on a text box.

		public Form1()
		{
			InitializeComponent();
			// It's recommended that you keep the PopupControlContainer unparented by
			// any control on the form (which will be the default case as set up during design-time).
			// Otherwise, the Form won't close sometimes after dropping down this popup!
			this.popupControlContainer1.Parent.Controls.Remove(this.popupControlContainer1);
		}

Constructors

PopupControlContainer()

Creates a new instance of the PopupControlContainer.

Declaration

public PopupControlContainer()

PopupControlContainer(IContainer)

Initializes a new instance of the PopupControlContainer class with a specified container.

Declaration

public PopupControlContainer(IContainer container)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
System.ComponentModel.IContainer	container	A System.ComponentModel.IContainer that represents the container of the PopupControlContainer.

Remarks

Containers are objects that encapsulate and track zero or more components. In this context, containment refers to logical containment, not visual containment. You can use components and containers in a variety of scenarios, including scenarios that are both visual and not visual.

Note to Implementers: To be a container, the class must implement the IContainer interface, which supports methods for adding, removing and retrieving components.

Unlike other controls, a PopupControlContainer is not a direct child of your form (though this is the case during design-time). This requires you to explicitly dispose of this control before the form gets destroyed. With this constructor override, the PopupControlContainer automatically plugs itself into a form's default component-containment pattern (through the IContainer member) during design-time. If you create this class in code, then you have to set it up manually.

The implementation simply adds the PopupControlContainer instance into the container.

Properties

CloseOnTab

Specifies whether the drop down need to be closed on pressing tab on the last item and shift tab on the first item in the drop down.

Declaration

public bool CloseOnTab { get; set; }

Property Value

Type	Description
System.Boolean

CurrentPopupChild

Gets or sets the current popup child in the popup hierarchy.

Declaration

public IPopupChild CurrentPopupChild { get; set; }

Property Value

Type	Description
IPopupChild	An instance of IPopupChild interface.

Remarks

When you want to show a parent-child hierarchy of popups, call this property on the parent popup before showing the child popup.

Examples

// While the parent PopupControlContainer is showing, you might want to show another child
// PopupControlContainer. You can do so as follows:
// Set up parent-child relationship.
parentPopupControlContainer.CurrentPopupChild = childPopupControlContainer;
childPopupControlContainer.PopupParent = parentPopupControlContainer;

// Now show the child popup.
childPopupControlContainer.ShowPopup();

DefaultMargin

Declaration

protected override Padding DefaultMargin { get; }

Property Value

Type	Description
System.Windows.Forms.Padding

DefaultSize

Declaration

protected override Size DefaultSize { get; }

Property Value

Type	Description
System.Drawing.Size

DesignMode

Indicates whether the control is in design-mode.

Declaration

public bool DesignMode { get; }

Property Value

Type	Description
System.Boolean

DiscreetLocation

Gets or sets the discreet location.

Declaration

public Point DiscreetLocation { get; set; }

Property Value

Type	Description
System.Drawing.Point

EnableTouchMode

gets or sets the touchmode

Declaration

public bool EnableTouchMode { get; set; }

Property Value

Type	Description
System.Boolean

FakeFocus

Indicates whether the popup should send a kill focus message to the control with focus when the popup was shown.

Declaration

public bool FakeFocus { get; set; }

Property Value

Type	Description
System.Boolean	True to send a KillFocus message; False otherwise. Default value is False.

Remarks

Faking focus is only necessary when the PopupControlContainer doesn't take the focus but you want it to look like it took the focus.

When this property is True, a KillFocus message will be sent to the control that currently has the focus after the PopupControlContainer is dropped down and a SetFocus message will be sent to the control with focus when the popup is closed.

Again, you will probably not need this functionality in most of the cases, since you will probably set the focus on some control with this PopupControlContainer as soon as it pops up (from within the popup event handler).

Font

Gets or sets the System.Drawing.Font value for the control.

Declaration

public override Font Font { get; set; }

Property Value

Type	Description
System.Drawing.Font

IgnoreDialogKey

Indicates whether to ignore dialog keys.

Declaration

public bool IgnoreDialogKey { get; set; }

Property Value

Type	Description
System.Boolean	True to ignore dialog keys; False if not to. Default is False.

Remarks

When the popup is showing, the PopupControlContainer in the ProcessDialogKey override will look for Alt, Enter, Tab, Esc, F4, and F2 keys and either cancel or close the popup. If you want to prevent this, set IgnoreDialogKey = False. You should then listen for the above keys and make sure to close the popup manually whenever appropriate using HidePopup.

IgnoreKeys

Indicates whether to ignore all keys.

Declaration

public bool IgnoreKeys { get; set; }

Property Value

Type	Description
System.Boolean	True to ignore all keys; False otherwise. Default is False.

Remarks

When the popup is showing, it will "swallow" all the WM_KEYDOWN and WM_CHAR messages. To prevent it, set this property to True.

IgnoreMouseMessages

Indicates whether to ignore all mouse messages.

Declaration

public bool IgnoreMouseMessages { get; set; }

Property Value

Type	Description
System.Boolean	True to ignore all mouse messages; False otherwise. Default is False.

Remarks

When the popup is showing it will "swallow" all the mouse messages that are sent to controls not in the popup-hierarchy. When showing, the popup will also listen to mouse messages to determine if the popup should be closed (for mouse down outside the popup-hierarchy, for example).

To prevent this behavior, set this property to True.

When set to True, the popup will close only when you call the HidePopup(PopupCloseType) method or when a new popup gets shown.

ParentControl

Specifies the PopupControlContainer's control parent.

Declaration

public Control ParentControl { get; set; }

Property Value

Type	Description
System.Windows.Forms.Control	A control instance.

Remarks

The Parent-Child relationship in this case is NOT similar to the one in the control hierarchy.

When you specify a Parent Control via ParentControl and pass a Point.Empty location to ShowPopup, the popup location will be dynamically determined based on the ParentControl bounds and the screen area.

PopupHost

Gets or sets a reference to the PopupHost that will be used to host this PopupControlContainer when dropped down.

Declaration

public PopupHost PopupHost { get; set; }

Property Value

Type	Description
PopupHost	The PopupHost object that will host this PopupControlContainer.

Remarks

PopupHost is the top level form-based control that hosts this PopupControlContainer when dropped down.

The PopupControlContainer usually creates a custom PopupHost when it is asked to drop down. However, you can provide your own PopupHost if you have a customized version.

You can also get a reference to the PopupHost that the PopupControlContainer uses by default and make changes to it. The PopupControlContainer creates a default PopupHost when there is no PopupHost supplied to it, but ShowPopup(Point) gets called to show the popup. Hence, the best place to get the default PopupHost associated with this PopupControlContainer is in the BeforePopup handler. Or call EnsurePopupHost() to create the default PopupHost if it is not yet created.

Examples

The following example shows how to make the PopupHost's border style resizable to create a resizable popup.

        // The PopupControlContainer's BeforePopup event handler
        private void popupControlContainer1_BeforePopup(object sender, System.ComponentModel.CancelEventArgs e)
        {
            // Create a Popup, that can be resized.
        // Make the popup host&apos;s border style resizable.
        this.popupControlContainer1.PopupHost.FormBorderStyle = FormBorderStyle.SizableToolWindow;
        this.popupControlContainer1.PopupHost.BackColor = this.BackColor;

        // Necessary to set the host&apos;s client size every time, especially since the
        // popup&apos;s Dock style is set to DockStyle.Fill.
        if(!(this.popupControlContainer1.PopupHost.Size.Width >= 140))
            this.popupControlContainer1.PopupHost.Size = new System.Drawing.Size(140, 150);

        // So that the popup container will fill the entire popup host when resized.
        this.popupControlContainer1.Dock = DockStyle.Fill;
    }</code></pre>

PopupParent

Specifies the IPopupParent parent.

Declaration

public IPopupParent PopupParent { get; set; }

Property Value

Type	Description
IPopupParent	An instance that implements IPopupParent.

Remarks

When you associate an IPopupParent interface with the PopupControlContainer you get even more control over the alignment and positioning of the Popup, (this you would do instead of the PopupControl based parenting).

When you provide this interface, the alignment and positioning logic is delegated to this interface.
