在其父级边界之外的用户控件内显示控件

我有一个带有文本框和列表框的usercontrol,它使用它们为用户提供自动完成功能。

但是,我希望将列表框绘制在用户控件的边界之外,以便在必须在用户控件的边缘附近绘制列表框时不会截断它。关于如何做到这一点的任何提示?基本上我想要一个浮动在其容器控件边界之外的列表框。

我能想到的唯一方法是在实例化时将对外部列表框的引用传递给用户控件,然后操纵该列表框而不是将其放在用户控件中,但我不喜欢这种方法。提前致谢。

问题是,你无法逃避容器形式的界限,但你可以在其他地方托管你的控件。

这是我通过滥用ToolstripDropDown类(我用它来在大型企业应用程序中显示日期选择器)所做的工作:

/// <summary>
/// PopupHelper
/// </summary>
public sealed class PopupHelper : IDisposable
{
    private readonly Control m_control;
    private readonly ToolStripDropDown m_tsdd;
    private readonly Panel m_hostPanel; // workarround - some controls don't display correctly if they are hosted directly in ToolStripControlHost

    public PopupHelper(Control pControl)
    {
        m_hostPanel = new Panel();
        m_hostPanel.Padding = Padding.Empty;
        m_hostPanel.Margin = Padding.Empty;
        m_hostPanel.TabStop = false;
        m_hostPanel.BorderStyle = BorderStyle.None;
        m_hostPanel.BackColor = Color.Transparent;

        m_tsdd = new ToolStripDropDown();
        m_tsdd.CausesValidation = false;

        m_tsdd.Padding = Padding.Empty;
        m_tsdd.Margin = Padding.Empty;
        m_tsdd.Opacity = 0.9;

        m_control = pControl;
        m_control.CausesValidation = false;
        m_control.Resize += MControlResize;

        m_hostPanel.Controls.Add(m_control);

        m_tsdd.Padding = Padding.Empty;
        m_tsdd.Margin = Padding.Empty;

        m_tsdd.MinimumSize = m_tsdd.MaximumSize = m_tsdd.Size = pControl.Size;

        m_tsdd.Items.Add(new ToolStripControlHost(m_hostPanel));
    }

    private void ResizeWindow()
    {
        m_tsdd.MinimumSize = m_tsdd.MaximumSize = m_tsdd.Size = m_control.Size;
        m_hostPanel.MinimumSize = m_hostPanel.MaximumSize = m_hostPanel.Size = m_control.Size;
    }

    private void MControlResize(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        ResizeWindow();
    }

    /// <summary>
    /// Display the popup and keep the focus
    /// </summary>
    /// <param name="pParentControl"></param>
    public void Show(Control pParentControl)
    {
        if (pParentControl == null) return;

        // position the popup window
        var loc = pParentControl.PointToScreen(new Point(0, pParentControl.Height));
        m_tsdd.Show(loc);
        m_control.Focus();
    }

    public void Close()
    {
        m_tsdd.Close();
    }

    public void Dispose()
    {
        m_control.Resize -= MControlResize;

        m_tsdd.Dispose();
        m_hostPanel.Dispose();
    }
}

用法:

    private PopupHelper m_popup;
    private void ShowPopup()
    {
        if (m_popup == null)
            m_popup = new PopupHelper(yourListControl);

        m_popup.Show(this);
    }
