How to make a WPF control appear on top of all other controls?

I have a custom control that expands upon mouse click, if i put my control in a groupbox, the border of the group box gets drawn on top of the part that expands outside the groupbox size. Any idea how to make this appear on TOP of it? I want to make it like the ComboBox dropdown works by default (always on top of anything).

Put it inside a Popup.

Then would you also have to manage the location of the popup when the window is moved, as it does not move with the window once displayed. Is there not a better way to implement this?

Not if you want it to extend past the bounds of its containing layout panel, at least not any that I know of (but then again I'm new to this too).

If you are simply talking about ordering the layers inside a canvas or grid cell, however, take a look at Panel.ZIndex.

I would use an EventTrigger to do this.

How to access button in some other cs file

Hi i am using WPf for my app.

I have created a button. I disabled that button by default. I want to enable that button in some other file( not code behind) in the project at some point of time according to my logic ( in different cs file). How can i access that button?

Does any one have any idea how to do this.

You can use the LogicalTreeHelper class to find the button. Alternatively, you can use the FindName method in the FrameworkElement class.

I have a Windows Form app communicating with a remote web service. Up until now, the app was a .Net 2.0 app using Web Services. Today, I converted the app to 3.5 so I could use WCF. I created a "Service Reference", and it created a bunch of files, and subsequently added stuff to the projects app.config file. I would rather have the stuff in code rather than the app.config file. Where can I get guidance on moving it to where I want it?

All of the elements in the config file can be moved into code. This[^] book makes a good stab at showing what goes where.

I have that book (and this is my first foray into the wonderfully stupid world of WPF), but...

One of the generated files is called Reference.cs - it's got 10,000 lines of code in it - geeze! All of the classes are partial. What am I supposed to do with them?

So little documentation - and even less time... :/

But so much autogenerated code. If you have an area that you need moving over, let me know and I'll do my best to help.

Hi All,

When I first started out on WPF I found a tool called Snoop ... I couldn't ever get it to work reliably.

Well ... its had a complete overhaul ... !

Works like a charm and now has an MSI installer too!
