I'm creating a WPF application where the user can click on a symbol and the app will paste that symbol into the application behind it (for example, into a web browser's text box or a Word document).
I'm having trouble with being able to remove the focus of my WPF app, so that when I use SendKeys, the symbol will be pasted into the other application. I am using the following code so far, but I don't want the window to hide, just be unfocused.
Clipboard.SetText("{symbol}")
Hide()
Forms.SendKeys.SendWait("^v")
Show()
Can anyone help? Thanks in advance.

Am trying to automate the keyboard application. Iam unable to see the UI code of respective application when i inspect. and need to pick the data into text editor which is present in suggestion bar of keyboard app...could anyone help me out for this problem
I am needing to use the DotNetBrowserControl inside of another application (I am an add-in in the application). The application is written in WPF and has some WinForms components.
When I try to use the WPFBrowserView in the app I can never get focus to go into the Browser Window at all (even when clicking on a the google search box for example).
When I try to use the WinformsBrowserView inside of a WindowsFormsHost control I am able to get focus into the google search box by clicking on it. However once I click focus out of the browser control (to a WPF textbox for example) I can never get Keyboard focus back into the browser (even when clicking on a textbox in the browser).
It seams I am closest on getting the WInformsBrowserView working. Does anyone have any advice on how to force focus into the browser window? Even if I could programmatically force this to happen it would be a huge help.
We have implemented force focus feature for DotNetBrowser, but it is not yet present in the current version. We plan to add it to the next version of DotNetBrowser. If you need a build with this feature present, please get in touch with us via DotNetBrowser support email, and we will provide you with a preview build.
I have a Silverlight app that takes a few seconds to display on a webpage. While loading, the user sees a blank space. Is there a way to show some sort of alt text or background image behind the application while it is loading to indicate to the user what is happening?

Based on the above link posted by danbord, I found that this can be accomplished via a splash screen. Basically, the splash screen will be loaded while the .xap is still being downloaded for a silverlight application. This can be implemented as follows:
Create splash screen .xaml file (this can be done in Visual Studio by creating a Silverlight 1.0 JScript page)
Add a splashScreenSource parameter to your object tag in the webpage hosting your silverlight application. This should point to the .xaml file created in step 1.
It is important that the value of the splashscreen param resolve to the correct location of the .xaml file relative to the page the silverlight app is hosted in. For example, if your SplashScreen.xaml file is in your website root, but the page hosting your silverlight app is in a subfolder, you will need to use
<param name="splashScreenSource" value="../SplashScreen.xaml" />
There are also other options that can be added such as attaching an event handler to the onSourceDownloadProgressChanged event to update a progress bar or some other UI animation.
I have the following desired workflow: on HTML button click a Silverlight modal popup (dialog) must be displayed. No Silverlight content is displayed before HTML button click and no Silverlight content must be displayed after exiting from modal SL popup.
According to our customer inclination we couldn't use another technology for such popups.
Any thoughts on how to accomplish mentioned workflow?
I'm quite new to Silverlight so all the ideas are highly appreciated.
The requirement is a little unusual, but here goes...
I am assuming you have a Silverlight test project and know enough HTML/JScript to popup a window, as you tagged this question as Silverlight only.
Think of Silverlight as just another component you can put on a web page. Any web page. It can be a small control, or fill a HTML window.
In your case you want to simply put your Silverlight startup code into a html page that a popup window can show. The popup window will be triggered by JScript attached to a button.
The Silverlight startup code is usually generated for you in a HTML test webpage in your Silverlight Webproject. Copy it from there.
If you need more detailed instructions for a specific example, please provide more detail.
i have a web page that has to go dim on page load and some box comes over.
the box has to have a TextBox. this box takes some input from the user. and on click
on a submit button the TextBox info is to be checked on server and then accordingly the
already dimmed web page may go normal(usable) or keep dimmed.
very much like what happens on opening the home page of www.sulekha.com
please guide me on this.

have you tried using the ChildWindow in the Silverlight Toolkit, does that not give you the intended "modal" + "grey out background" behaviour
