Problem with combobox dropdown - wpf

I have a problem regarding combobox dropdown. Once a dropdown is opened, if I want to move focus to other control (say a textbox), I need to click twice because on first click, the combo dropdown is closed and then on second click, the textbox gets focus. How should I fix this? Please help.

You could listen to the DropDownList.SelectedIndexChanged event, and in the event handler set focus to the next control, either by setting TextBox.Focus(), or by calling System.Windows.Forms.Control.SelectNextControl()
I think this would be 'non standard' behaviour for what its worth. Its quite normal to expect the user to tab or select the next control after using a drop down.
Edit: Sorry, in a WPF ComboBox the equivalent event is SelectionChanged, but on reflection you'd be better using OnDropDownClosed. This would mean you only move the focus specifically after using the drop down rather than just whenever the value changes.

Ui-grid triggers ng-blur on wrong textbox when scrolled out of view

We use textboxes on celltemplates instead using an editableCellTemplate.
http://plnkr.co/edit/M8Do1p?p=preview
<input class="grid_textbox text-center"
ng-blur="grid.appScope.quantityChanged(row.entity)"
ng-model="MODEL_COL_FIELD" style="width:80%"/>
We identify changes by catching ng-blur on the textboxes. However, we noticed that when the textbox is out of view when the user scrolls, it does not trigger the ng-blur on the correct textbox.
To reproduce in plnkr
Click on first textbox.
Click on the second textbox, this will display info on the Blur event. This is the expected behavior
To reproduce the error, click Clear and click on the first textbox again.
Scroll down until up to mid-bottom and click on a textbox. It won't output the same message as above.
Is there a way to fix this or a workaround to get the row that was edited?
Update:
I've tried Guranjan's solution and it worked, but another problem came up. I'm not sure if this should be another question but it's still related to scrolling and blur.
To replicate
Click on 1st textbox and input a number
Scroll until it's out of view.
Click on another textbox and edit.
This time just scroll. You can see the cursor focusing on other textboxes and not triggering blur.
Edit one. Then scroll again (mouse wheel or dragging scrollbar). Edit then scroll.
Click on one textbox to trigger blur. It will not display all of the edits.
This is the plunker of Guranjan to try it.

This is because ui-grid reuses the elements. One way to fix your issue is, store the value of current row on focus and use that on blur. For example, create variable in you app scope:
$scope.currentValue = {};
and then you can update this on input focus:
ng-focus="grid.appScope.currentValue = row.entity"
and you can then use $scope.currentValue to do whatever you need to do with it.

Strange issue - mouse click in popup is getting captured by control underneath

I'm displaying a Popup in response to a button click (popup.IsOpen = true;). The popup contains a ComboBox, and when I click an item in the combobox, one of the things the SelectionChanged event does is to hide the popup.
The Popup appears over a DataGrid that I also have on my page, and I'm finding that the mouse-click on the combobox is also being picked up by a MouseUp event that I've got on the DataGrid. Any idea what's going on?
The MouseUp Event has a routing strategy of type Bubbling. Events that use this type of strategy get passed up the chain to parent controls. Since the Popup is a child of the DataGrid, the event will "bubble" up to the DataGrid. If you would rather the event not bubble, you can try using PreviewMouseUp, which has a Tunneling routing strategy, and will "tunnel" down the chain to child controls. Here is a decent overview of Routing Strategies.
I've hit the same issue. Oddly, it doesn't happen when the code is run in the debugger - it only happens in the release version. It really seems to be a bug in WPF. Trying to catch the click and set the event to handled doesn't work.
My workaround is to, when the popup opens, to tell the control underneath to ignore the click.

How can I prevent events being fired on the Winform when I click on a WPF popup?

I have a wondows form which contains a WPF control as well. When I click on the control it brings up a WPF popup control with a listbox. The goal is, when I select an item on the listbox, the windows form will be repopulated accordingly and the popup should get closed. The current implementation with SelectionChanged on the listbox works fine.
Here is the problem. The popup is big and covers some portion of the winform which contains some links. Now, when I select an item on the listbox, the popup closes after doing necessary actions, but if there is a link just below the popup (on the winform) that is under the cursor (when you selected the item on the listbox), that link is also taking the click event.
Is there any way to prevent the links getting clicked when I click on the popup? I have to close the popup though.
I think I figured this out.
SelectionChanged gets executed when we press the mouse key down and before we lift it.(Mouse key up). The popup gets closed in SelectionChanged before we lift the Mouse key. So, when we leave the mouse key, the keyUp event actually gets fired for a link on the Winform as the popup has been closed by now.
I moved the logic from SelectionChanged to PreviewMouseUp and the popup stays till I leave the mouse key and therefore the links on the Winform do not get the event. Of course, I check whether the selection has been changed or not.

How to detect a click on the selected row of a RadGridView control

My WPF application uses the Telerik RadGridView control on a few of its screens. I have a requirement that says that whenever the user clicks on a row in the RadGridView, I'm supposed to switch to another screen and display detail information about that row. I hooked up a handler to the SelectionChanged event and this works, except that nothing happens if the user clicks on the selected row a second time. This makes sense, as the selected row isn't being changed.
How can I detect a second click on the same row and have the second screen displayed?

You could just attach a handler to the MouseUp event on the GridView. Check if there are any selected cells and respond from there. This will fire even if there is already a selection.
The MouseDown event will fire on the mouse click, but before the gridview updates the selction, mouse up should fire when the selection has already been adjusted
You can also attach a handler to each individual cell in code-behind as follows
(this.GridView as RadGridView).AddHandler(
GridViewCell.MouseUpEvent,
new EventHandler<Telerik.Windows.RadRoutedEventArgs>(this.OnMouseUp));
I think you may try to achieve this through the MouseLeftButtonDown event or PreviewMouseLeftButtonDown event.

Buttons keeping their focus class after losing focus

I have some buttons in a bottom toolbar of a gridpanel that control adding, and removing records from the row-editing grid.
The handlers are pretty simple: "new" button creates an instance of the model, appends to the grid and then opens a row-editor on the new row; "edit" button just opens the selected row's row-editor; "remove" destroys the record from the store and refreshes the grid view.
For some reason these buttons don't lose the focus class that gives them a border when they have the focus. Here is a picture:
In the picture both the "New" button and the "Remove" button have the focus class, when I press the "Edit" button it also keeps the focus classes even after doing a complete row-edit operation and closing the row-editor.
I did find that when I mousedown on one of these permanently "focused" buttons and then mouseup away from it and then click something else the focus class goes away.
I know that I could put a blur handler for all button components in my respective controllers but I would have thought that this functionality was built in so I am asking to see if there is something I missed somewhere in the docs.
The classes that it won't let go of are these:
x-focus x-btn-focus x-btn-default-toolbar-small-focus
This is with ExtJS 4.1.0 in FF10 on Windows 7. But I did notice similar behavior in ExtJS 4.02 and 4.07, just haven't needed to handle it until now.
I found out what it was:
At some point in the handler chain for each of these buttons the button gets disabled. When a button is disabled in ExtJS it prevents the blur event from firing.
It was necessary to disable the buttons so the solution to simply add button.blur() in the handler was the correct way to do go about it.
