I have a panel that fills with icons of characters. I have a second panel I would like to fill with icons from which character is selected. What is the best way to know which character was selected? Both panels are flow layout panels. I can hover over the character and display the name but I need a good way to reference which character is clicked. The entire object is a user control and another object that retrieves the champion icons to fill the first panel. Thank you.
You need to handle the form.KeyPress event.
Control.KeyPress Event
Examine the KeyEventArgs and go from there.

I have a program with a lot of buttons, and need to put a tooltip on every single button. Every buttton has its own text describing what it does. I would put a tooltip on every button, and add the text to the tooltip, but I guess that its not a very efficient way to do it. What would be the best way to put a tooltip on every item I wish with its own text?
thanks
I am trying to toggle between textfields and buttons on my view using keyboard's tab button. The switching between textfields work but it does not switch between buttons. The view is shown as below.I did not find enough resources online to proceed further. Does anyone know how to resolve this?
There is nothing you can do with that issue.
It turns out that in the System Preferences > Keyboard > Shortcuts there is a checkbox, where you can change behaviour of the whole system:
To move keyboard focus only between text boxes and lists
To move keyboard between any of controls
And by default first checkbox is pressed.
As an addition. By default, NSWindow assigns an initial first responder and constructs a key view loop with the objects it finds. You can also change key view loop by calling this method: setNextKeyView.
For example,
[firstTextBox setNextKeyView:secondTextBox];
[secondTextBox setNextKeyView:secondButton];
[secondButton setNextKeyView:firstButton];
[firstButton setNextKeyView:firstTextBox];
This means that for users who expect moving control focus through all controls, this will work. And for those who have disabled this feature in settings, this won't work.
You can right-click on text field, drag "nextKeyView" and drop on another text field that you want to focus next when user press tab. Look like my picture below:
To add to #mjonka's answer, To move focus between controls is dependent on user's keyboard-shortcuts settings. What could be alternate solution is to just selecting your desired action button in your xib file and setting "Key Equivalent" value field to "enter" key in Attributes inspector as shown below. Same thing can be done for cancel button by setting "Key Equivalent" value to "Esc" key.
I have a scrollviewer in page which shows data vertically, and it contains controls like grid, stackpanel and listbox.
Listbox contains items with expanderview. On click of expander view header it expands, I just want that whenever it expands its content get visible in page. Means i have to automatically change scroll position and make visible a Listbox selected control.
Is there any way?
There is a way to manage it Programatically with use of Timer. When the timer is triggerd, we call the timer_Tick event handler, which scrolls to the current index and marks it as selected, and then updates the index. After the last item is highlighted the index is reset to the first item. You can find useful sample here Auto-scrolling ListBox for Windows Phone
You need to calculate the offset where you want to scroll to, and then use ScrollToVerticalOffset(your_offset_value) method.
Have a look over here : How to use ScrollViewer.ScrollToVerticalOffset?
To share a common display layout in a Split template Windows Store app, I put a Back button, title TextBlock, and another button in a UserControl, and then use that control in most of my pages. My problem is that in the main page, neither of the buttons will react to pointer activity, be it pointer over or clicking. However, it works fine in any other page. To isolate it, I created a blank app and duplicated the UserControl, but it works in that case.
How can I debug this?
Thanks.

In an "ItemView" page of a "Split" template app, the Grid containing the back button and title must be below the GridView and ListView in the XAML code. Apparently the GridView, with no Grid.Row, and a Grid.RowSpan="2" needs to overlay the first and second rows, and if the button is beneath the GridView, it must assume it is not visible and doesn't need to respond to events. I moved my new user control instance to below the GridView, and the buttons work now.
This whole scheme of overlaying both rows makes no sense to me, but without the Grid.RowSpan="2", the items don't split nicely into two rows for me. I think such odd layout should have a comment explaining it in the template. Perhaps it could save someone else from this same kind of issue.
I am adding a custom column to a custom datagridview. One of the options this new datagridcolumn has is the ability show a value and then a button to allow the user to click on the button and something will happen. The button only takes up the right portion of the cell and the rest is a value. This button and value are displayable always and the button should always be able to be clicked on. In datagridview's display mode the value and button are painted. What I need help on is how to tell whether the user clicked on the button portion of the cell. Can someone please provide example code on how to do this?
Thanks,
Greg
Never mind I figured it out. I just put some logic in the cellclick event of the datagridview to get the GetCellDisplayRectangle and converted that to screen points and got where the mouse is on the screen and did a bounds test with the rectangle contains method.
