Dynamically create ContextMenu in Silverlight 5 - silverlight

I have just started to use Silverlight this few days.
Currently I have generated some panel dynamically in a canvas. Each panel will have a shared MouseLeftButtonUp event which will display a ContextMenu.
The problem now is when I click on a first panel, the ContextMenu is able to show but when I click on a second panel, the first ContextMenu shown up instead of the second. The second panel will show its ContextMenu only when I click another time on the second panel.
Below is my code to generate the panel and the context menu:
void generatePanel()
{
StackPanel panel = new StackPanel();
panel.MouseLeftButtonUp += panel_MouseLeftButtonUp;
canvas.Children.Add(panel)
}
void panel_MouseLeftButtonUp(object sender, MouseButtonEventArgs e)
{
e.Handled = true;
ContextMenu menu = new ContextMenu();
menu.IsOpen = true;
}
Hopefully my problem is clear enough. Is there any way to solve the problem? Or if there are any event that are fired when the menu is hidden, so that I can make sure the previous context menu is disposed or cleared?
Thanks.

WPF: how to auto scroll to my first ListViewItem when form load

So i am build simple Clipboard manager.
Every ListViewItem come from Clipboard.GetText and my application minimize to Tray and when double click on its Icon the application jump and i want to focus become on the first ListViewItem in order to be able to navigate with Up & Down arrows.
This is my ListView:
ListView myListView;
Model List:
public ObservableCollection<string> Clipboards
Window Loaded event:
private void Window_Loaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
if (viewModel.Clipboards.Count != 0)
myListView.ScrollIntoView(myListView.Items[0]);
myListView.Focus();
}
So currently when i open int the first time the application, the Focus is not on any ListViewItem and in the next time the focus is on the last selected/click ListViewItem and not on the first one.
It looks like you have your ViewModel in the code behind. This is not good MVVM standard.
Maybe this could be helpful
How can I set the focus to a ListBox properly on load if it uses databinding?
From what I see you are not focusing any ListViewItem but the ListView itself. I think this is your mistake. To focus the item you have to get it's container. The objects in the ItemsSource are actually the data itself and no the UIElement to render. To draw this data or add it to the visual tree for rendering, the ItemsControl will generate a container for the data e.g. a ListViewItem. Only the UIElement can receive focus, that's why the UIElement exposes the Focus() method. You have to use the ItemContainerGenarator to retrieve this container for your data:
ListView myListView;
(myListView.ItemsPanel as VirtualizingPanel)?.BringIndexIntoViewPublic(0);
myListView.Dispatcher.Invoke(new Action(
() =>
{
ListBoxItem dataContainer = myListView.ItemContainerGenerator.ContainerFromIndex(0) as ListBoxItem;
dataContainer?.Focus();
}), DispatcherPriority.ContextIdle);
This example will move the focus to the first element in the ListView.

how to select option in context menu c #

hello I'm grabbing a windows form application in c # and have a question about a context menu I have my main form within the main form I have a picturebox and I created an event as the next mouse click
private void pictureBox1_MouseClick(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
{
if (e.Button == MouseButtons.Right)
{
ContextMenu cm = new ContextMenu();
cm.MenuItems.Add("DISPONIBLE");
cm.MenuItems.Add("RESERVAR");
cm.MenuItems.Add("OCUPADA");
pictureBox1.ContextMenu = cm;
}
}
all going well so far shows me my contextual menu when I right click but when I choose the option to "AVAILABLE" another windows form show me someone who can help me please thanks
I think this is not the way. if you did so you need to call show for the context menu, you can set that menu at the initialization of the form or the control, you create the context menu one time it will be shown automatically, you don't have to create it each time you click the control, Add the following code to the constructor of the form just to check if it works
ContextMenu cm = new ContextMenu();
cm.MenuItems.Add("DISPONIBLE");
cm.MenuItems.Add("RESERVAR");
cm.MenuItems.Add("OCUPADA");
pictureBox1.ContextMenu = cm;

how to get Tabcontrol's Tab focus in WPF

so is there any way to know about tab lost focus when click on Add new button and again get focus on tab control ? Lostfocus event of tab control does not work.

You can make use of the TabControl.SelectionChanged Event

{
if (e.Source is TabControl)

How to show a panel dynamically on mouse enter event?

Like in web page using css we can show a div on mouse enter or hover, in the same way i want to show a panel on mouse enter event of a button, but i am unable to do this. I am trying like this.
private void btn2_MouseEnter(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Button btn = (Button)sender;
btn.BackColor = System.Drawing.Color.MistyRose; //this is executed on mouse enter
Point locationOnForm = btn.FindForm().PointToClient(
btn.Parent.PointToScreen(btn.Location));
Panel pnl = new Panel();
Label lbl = new Label();
lbl.Text = "anything";
pnl.Controls.Add(lbl);
pnl.Location = new Point(locationOnForm.X, locationOnForm.Y);
pnl.Size = new Size(500, 500);
pnl.BackColor = Color.SkyBlue;
pnl.Visible = true;
pnl.Show();
}
I am not getting how to solve this. I want to know that
1) Is this the right approach or there is any other way of doing this?
2) If this is ok then what is the mistake i am doing here ?
Thanks.
Don't create the panel on mouse enter, rather have the panel created already then just show and hide it.
private void button1_MouseEnter(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
panel1.Show();
}
You have to add the panel to the Form controls
Form1.Controls.Add(pnl);
If you plan to have a panel hover over the button like a <div> in Web, you will have to call
BringToFront() to ensure that the panel does not appear behind the button or other controls on the form -
pnl.BringToFront();
Also like the previous answer, it may be better to have a panel placed on the form already and just set visible to true or false as well as the panel location otherwise you may end up adding multiple panels to the Form controls.
If you plan on just showing plain text in the panel, it may be easier to use Tooltip control -

POPUP on Button right click + WPF

I have a ListBox that is bound to a list of items. The ListBoxItem is bound to a datatemplate of type Button.
On the click of button, I do some action (another window is shown). So i have bound to the Command of the button.
Now my requirement is that i show a POPUP (with some buttons in popup) to the right click of the button.
How would i be able to do this in MVVM ?
Girija
You can simply catch MouseUp event from ListBox.ItemTemplate and set Popup.IsOpen there:
private void SomeTemplateElement_MouseUp(object sender, MouseButtonEventArgs e)
{
if (e.ChangedButton == MouseButton.Right)
puMyPopup.IsOpen = true;
}
Popup is a view element, so I don`t think there`s a reason to open it through viewmodel commands.
