Controling popup open and close focus

Question

I have a popup which contains multiple elements, a list view, a text box and a button. These are operating fine, and if you use the button to close the popup it works as well, but when i tried to make the popup close when it lost focus, it closed when i clicked an element in the listview. Is there any way around this? Is the FocusManager property the way to go?

Answer 1

You should just set the StaysOpen property on your popup like this:

<Popup StaysOpen="True">
...
</Popup>

Answer 2

Set FocusManager.IsFocusScope = True on your Popup element, so it keep focus as long as one of his children has it.

Answer 3

Please try the stayopen property of the popup control in you code. If it is not working please post your code.
