Question

I have a Silverlight user control that is a textbox with a search button attached to it. When the search button is clicked then the grid with the search controls is made visible. The search controls are in a grid that is located in a canvas with the search button. The grid is collapsed until the search button is clicked. The issue that I am having is that the search grid doesn’t appear above all other controls. When my control gets focus I set the Canvas.ZIndex property to 100 which caused it to appear above MOST other controls, but there are still some buttons on the page that the pop up doesn’t appear over. Any ideas?

Answer 1

I just found out about the Popup class: System.Windows.Controls.Primitives.Popup

This allows for content wrapped in a popup tag to be “popped up” over all other content… exactly what I needed.
