Keyboard accelerator firing when writing to Textbox - c#

Click event of Button is fired when pressing D while writing to Textbox.
Is there an elegant way how to suppress Keyboard Accelerator while Textbox is focused?
XAML:
<StackPanel Orientation="Vertical">
<TextBox></TextBox>
<Button Click="Button_Click" Content="Button with "D" as keyboard accelerator" Margin="0,10">
<Button.KeyboardAccelerators>
<KeyboardAccelerator Key="D"></KeyboardAccelerator>
</Button.KeyboardAccelerators>
</Button>
<TextBlock x:Name="ButtonClickCounter"></TextBlock>
</StackPanel>
C#:
int buttonClickCounter;
private void Button_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
ButtonClickCounter.Text = $"Button clicked {++buttonClickCounter} times";
}
EDIT:
Why Accelerator with Modifier (Alt+D or Ctrl+D) is not solution?
I am creating video player and I found that one-key shortcuts are neat solution for fast operations with video player (same as in VLC).
Best Solution so far:
Creating custom KeyboardAccelerator, that checks if focus is set to text box. Only edit in code that need to be done is changing KeyboardAccelerator to AcceleratorWithHandledActionIfTextboxIsFocused.
public class AcceleratorWithHandleDActionIfTextboxIsFocused:KeyboardAccelerator
{
public AcceleratorWithHandleActionIfTextboxIsFocused()
{
Invoked += AcceleratorWithHandleActionIfTextboxIsFocused_Invoked;
}
private void AcceleratorWithHandleActionIfTextboxIsFocused_Invoked(KeyboardAccelerator sender, KeyboardAcceleratorInvokedEventArgs args)
{
var focusedElement = FocusManager.GetFocusedElement();
if (focusedElement.GetType() == typeof(TextBox))
args.Handled = true;
}
}
part of XAML:
<Button.KeyboardAccelerators>
<custom:AcceleratorWithHandleDActionIfTextboxIsFocused Key="D"></KeyboardAccelerator>
</Button.KeyboardAccelerators>

I agree with #Thomas Weller in his comments as for not using a single letter as a keyboard accelerator...
But everybody has their own requirements, anyway, you could try to e.handle = true your event when textbox is focused.
Something like this:
public void Button_Click(object sender, ExecutedRoutedEventArgs e)
{
if (textBox.isFocused)
{
e.handled = true;
}
}

Using GotFocus and TextChanged simultaneously - Windows Phone

I have an AutoSuggestBox which is set to handle the events GotFocus & TextChanged simultaneously. I have cleared the text from the text box in GotFocus event. Now the problem is that when I select any of the suggestions in AutoSuggestBox, after selecting it calls the GotFocus event handler and clears the selected text from it.
This is the MainPage.xaml code using the AutoSuggestBox:
<AutoSuggestBox
x:Name="auto_text_from"
HorizontalAlignment="Left"
VerticalAlignment="Center"
PlaceholderText="Enter Source"
Height="auto"
Width="280"
GotFocus="auto_text_from_GotFocus"
TextChanged="AutoSuggestBox_TextChanged"/>
And this one is the code which I have written in MainPage.xaml.cs :
private void auto_text_from_GotFocus(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
auto_text_from.Text = "";
}
string[] PreviouslyDefinedStringArray = new string[] {"Alwar","Ajmer","Bharatpur","Bhilwara",
"Banswada","Jaipur","Jodhpur","Kota","Udaipur"};
private void AutoSuggestBox_TextChanged(AutoSuggestBox sender,AutoSuggestBoxTextChangedEventArgs args)
{
List<string> myList = new List<string>();
foreach (string myString in PreviouslyDefinedStringArray)
{
if (myString.ToLower().Contains(sender.Text.ToLower()) == true)
{
myList.Add(myString);
}
}
sender.ItemsSource = myList;
}
I want to use both of the event handlers. GotFocus for clearing the data of Text box, and TextChanged for showing the suggestions of writing the text in it.
Please suggest me any way to do the same.
Thanks in Advance :)
If AutoSuggestBox has an event to handle the selection of a suggested word, like "SuggestionChosen", a possibile solution is using a private flag managed between the various handlers.
Set a private field:
private bool _isSelectingSuggestion;
Link a method-handler like OnSuggestionChosen to the event SuggestionChosen and implement it like that:
private void OnSuggestionChosen(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
_isSelectingSuggestion = true;
}
Then, in GotFocus, check the flag like this:
private void auto_text_from_GotFocus(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
if (_isSelectingSuggestion)
e.Handled = true;
else
auto_text_from.Text = "";
_isSelectingSuggestion = false;
}
Obviously this works only if SuggestionChosen is raised before GotFocus: when GotFocus begins, it proceeds like: "ok, I've got focus because a suggestion was chosen just a moment ago? If it's true, I must not clear my Text! Otherwise, I shall clear it!".
Let me know it this work for you!
#MK87 : Yeah it worked with little bit of changes !! :)
private bool _isSelectingSuggestion;
private void OnSuggestionChosen(AutoSuggestBox sender, AutoSuggestBoxSuggestionChosenEventArgs args)
{
_isSelectingSuggestion = true;
}
private void auto_text_from_GotFocus(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
if (!_isSelectingSuggestion)
auto_text_from.Text = "";
_isSelectingSuggestion = false;
}
I had to remove this line:
e.Handled == true;
as it was giving me error as RoutedEventArgs does not contain a definition for 'Handled'.
Thanks for your help :) :)

How to detect DoubleClick in WPF ToggleButton

In my WPF application I have Toggle Button, I want to detect when user double click on it (in both cases if it checked or unchecked).
How can I do that?
Thanks in advance
You can use the OnPreviewMouseDoubleClick event
xaml:
<ToggleButton Height="75" Width="100" PreviewMouseDoubleClick="Control_OnPreviewMouseDoubleClick"/>
code-behind:
private void Control_OnPreviewMouseDoubleClick(object sender, MouseButtonEventArgs e)
{
var toggleButtton = sender as ToggleButton;
if (toggleButtton != null)
{
if (toggleButtton.IsChecked.HasValue)
{
if (toggleButtton.IsChecked.Value)
{
// Checked
}
else
{
// Unchecked
// this will re-check the button if double-click unchecks it
//
toggleButtton.IsChecked = true;
toggleButtton.Focus();
}
}
}
}
Use PreviewMouseDoubleClick event (msdn):
XAML:
<ToggleButton x:Name="tButton" Height="30" Content="MyButton"
PreviewMouseDoubleClick="tButton_PreviewMouseDoubleClick"
/>
Code-behind:
private void tButton_PreviewMouseDoubleClick(object sender, MouseButtonEventArgs e)
{
tButton.IsChecked = !tButton.IsChecked.Value;
e.Handled = true;
//...
}
This event is pretty easy with togglebuttons
Xaml you write the following to get an EventHandler:
<ToggleButton Name="button1" MouseDoubleClick="button1_DoubleClick" />
In c# you write the following to get an EventHandler:
button1.MouseDoubleClick += new MouseButtonEventHandler(button1_DoubleClick);
And in both cases you need:
void button1_DoubleClick(object sender, MouseButtonEventArgs e)
{
}

How to make a messagebox show up on left click

I have a pretty simple problem but I can't get it to work. I want a MessageBox to appear each time I left click inside my form. I didn't know how to capture it on the whole form so I started of trying to capture my left click inside my WebBrowser1. However, nothing really happens when trying to trigger the event.
I declared the action as WebBrowser1_Mousedown.
private void WebBrowser1_Mousedown(object sender, MouseButtonEventArgs e)
{
if (e.LeftButton == MouseButtonState.Pressed)
{
MessageBox.Show("test");
}
}
What am I doing wrong?
My relevant XAML as follows:
<Window x:Class="IndianBrowser.MainWindow"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
Title="MainWindow" Height="488.806" Width="807.089" MouseDown="Window_MouseDown">
and now trying with the webbrowser:
<WebBrowser x:Name="WebBrowser1" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" Height="auto" Margin="0,85,0,0" VerticalAlignment="Stretch" Width="auto" MouseDown="WebBrowser1_Mousedown"/>
If you look into MSDN documentation for WebBrowser class, you'll see that mouse events are not supported. What you can do instead is subscribe for HtmlDocument.MouseDown event.
Update
Here is small snippet that demonstrates how to do this in WPF, NOTE you will have to add reference to Microsoft.mshtml assembly:
public MainWindow()
{
InitializeComponent();
this.webBrowser1.Navigated += webBrowser1_Navigated;
this.webBrowser1.Source = new Uri("your url");
}
void webBrowser1_Navigated(object sender, NavigationEventArgs e)
{
HTMLDocumentClass document = this.webBrowser1.Document as HTMLDocumentClass;
document.HTMLDocumentEvents2_Event_onclick += document_HTMLDocumentEvents2_Event_onclick;
}
bool document_HTMLDocumentEvents2_Event_onclick(IHTMLEventObj pEvtObj)
{
// here you can check if the clicked element is your form
// if (pEvtObj.fromElement.id == "some id")
MessageBox.Show("test");
return true;
}

Action on both button press and release

I can't get this straight: I have one button that I want one action for the press event and one action for release, I've searched everywhere and can't find an answer.
KeyDown, KeyUp or MouseLeftButtonDown doesn't work with button on windows phone 7.
First I tried combining GotFocus and Click clickmode release like this:
(As you can see I want Image1 to be shown while pressing button, and hidden when releasing the button)
xaml:
Button Click="button1_Click" ClickMode="Release" GotFocus="button1_GotFocus" Content="byt" Height="72" Margin="0,500,6,0" Name="button1" VerticalAlignment="Top"
private void button1_GotFocus(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
Image1.Visibility = System.Windows.Visibility.Collapsed;
}
private void button1_Click (object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
Image1.Visibility = System.Windows.Visibility.Visible;
}
This works only one time and could work all the time if I could loose focus from the button when releasing it (tried searching for that as well)
The other thing I tried was changing the clickmode while pressing the button, but didn't get that to work either..
something like this:
private void button1_Click (object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
Image1.Visibility = System.Windows.Visibility.Collapsed;
button1.SetValue(Button.ClickModeProperty, ClickMode.Release);
Image1.Visibility = System.Windows.Visibility.Visible;
}
(I know that the syntax is wrong somehow in the second one)
Would be grateful for help!
MouseLeftButtonDown / MouseLeftButtonUp do work on WP7. Obviously not named the best, but they do work on the device.
<TextBlock x:Name="ApplicationTitle" MouseLeftButtonDown="ApplicationTitle_MouseLeftButtonDown" MouseLeftButtonUp="ApplicationTitle_MouseLeftButtonUp"
Style="{StaticResource PhoneTextNormalStyle}"
Text="MY APPLICATION" />
You'll see Down gets fired, and then immediately Up.
private void ApplicationTitle_MouseLeftButtonDown(object sender, System.Windows.Input.MouseButtonEventArgs e)
{
}
private void ApplicationTitle_MouseLeftButtonUp(object sender, System.Windows.Input.MouseButtonEventArgs e)
{
}
Perhaps all you need is MouseLeftButtonDown/Up.
I used
Click="{x:Bind UpArrow_Click}"
ClickMode="Press"
PointerCaptureLost="Button_Release"
on a button. When button is pressed UpArrow_Click event occurs... when button is released Button_Release event occurs

How do you get a submit button in the Windows Phone keyboard?

I want the white arrow to appear in my text input boxes so users have a way of forward other than tapping away from the keyboard or using the hardware Back button.
The search fields do this in the system UI. How do I?
Here's my code
XAML:
<TextBox x:Name="InputBox" InputScope="Text" AcceptsReturn="True" TextChanged="InputBox_TextChanged"/>
CS:
void InputBox_TextChanged(object sender, KeyEventArgs e)
{
// e does not have Key property for capturing enter - ??
}
One quick note, I have tried AcceptsReturn as False also.
Also, I found that to get the white submit button that the search box has you can set the InputScope to "search":
<TextBox x:Name="InputBox" InputScope="Search" AcceptsReturn="False" KeyUp="InputBox_KeyUp"/>
I still haven't figured out if this has any unintended side-effects.
For good measure here is the code to dismiss the keyboard in the KeyUp event:
void InputBox_KeyUp(object sender, System.Windows.Input.KeyEventArgs e)
{
if (e.Key == Key.Enter)
{
this.Focus();
}
}
Instead of handling the TextChanged method, handle the KeyUp method of the Textbox:
private void InputBox_KeyUp(object sender, System.Windows.Input.KeyEventArgs e)
{
if (e.Key == Key.Enter)
{
//enter has been pressed
}
}
