Problem using VisualTreeHelpe r.HitTest

Hi,
I'm using VisualTreeHelpe r.HitTest in the following situation: I have
a grid, that I use to position a certain number of labels. When the
user clicks on one of these labels they won't be able to receive the
click, because the mouse is dragging another element. So I have to use
VisualTreeHelpe r with the Callback to see all the elements down there.
It works and I can get the elements in the grid. The problem starts
here: it will return a TextBlock, instead of a label. I don't know
why... probably a label is implemented throug a textblock... who
knows... Anyway I use again VisualTreeHelpe r to get the parent of this
textblock and it gives a ContentPresente r. If I substitute its
contents with what I want, it will work and everything will be
allright... The problem is that it will work only visually. If I look
through the Children of the grid I will get the usual Labels I put at
the beginning and their content will still be the previous (even if
visually it is not!). I'd like to be able to use directly my labels
instead of these other controls. because after the content is changed
I have to know which Label has changed and query it's position in the
table. Probably I'm doing this in the wrong way. I've tried to put a
event handler on the label, but it doesn't work: the dragged object is
above and doesn't let the Label receive mouse events!

so boring... please help

Hi all, I was wondering if anyone can help me with a really annoying problem I have been having. I made a derived datagrid class that will select the row when a user clicks anywhere on a cell (multi-select without modifier keys). I got that working fine, but I also wanted to keep rows selected after a sort, which I do by storing the row's id in an arraylist. The idea was to do the sort and then go back and re-select the rows with that...

I'm using HitTest to get a value from the cells into a textbox. I have put the HitTest code into the MouseDown-event, and everything is working except one thing. When I start the program the value in the first column/row is highlighted and the HitTest doesn't retrieve a value if I click on that cell. Is there a way to get a datagrid to not highlight a cell - or are there any other ways to solve this? HitTest-code (simplified) Dim...

I am not sure if this is too-granular a question to post to this group; however, I did not see a Tablet-specific group. I am experiencing a problem with the Microsoft.Ink.Ink.HitTest(Point , float) method in the Tablet SDK. I have pasted code below that verifies the problem using NUnit. In short, performing a hit-test on a Stroke that I have manually created with a set of input points is generating inconsistent results between...

Hi all, I'm trying to correct the (imho) wrong behaviour of a listbox when the user right-clicks on an item. I would like the selection to change when this happens, just like when the user uses the left mouse button. Most multi-item controls seem to have the hittest method, but in the documentation of the listbox I can't find it. Does anyone know how to do this?

I'm trying to use the Hittest to determine where on a node my mouse is. Only I want to know stuff for which there isn't a flag -- eg "Is the hit in the upper part, the center, or the bottom part of the treenode?" How do I do this? Must I somehow override TVM_HITTEST? Is there an easy way to get a treenode's location and then figure out where my hit happened on my own? Help. Thanks --

I am trying to implement a drag and drop operation from a listbox to a data gridview control but I keep getting -1 for my row index when the dragdrop function is executed. Below is my coding.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
