[<System.ComponentModel.Bindable(true)>]
member this.StaysOpen : bool with get, set

Attributes

Examples

The following example shows how to set the StaysOpen property.

myTextBlockPopup.StaysOpen = true;

myTextBlockPopup.StaysOpen = True

<DockPanel  Width="500" Background="Aqua">
  <Popup Placement="Center" PlacementRectangle="0,0,30,50"  
          IsOpen ="True" StaysOpen="True"
          PopupAnimation="Fade">
    <TextBlock Background="Purple">Popup Text</TextBlock>
  </Popup>
</DockPanel>

Remarks

When the StaysOpen property is set to true, Popup stays open until it is explicitly closed by setting the IsOpen property to false. When StaysOpen is false, the Popup control intercepts all mouse and keyboard events to determine when one of these events occurs outside the Popup control.
