Why does the this popup think it is encountering the edge of the screen?



The Popup Placement Behavior Guide shows how to position a popup using several properties:



Using these, we can set the target area, target origin, and placement alignment point. The guide goes on to describe a whole host of conditions for how the popup is placed in the event that it encounters the screen.



In my application, I created a popup programmatically as a response to user input and set the properties:


private void Button_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)

Popup popup = new Popup();
popup.Child = new PopupContent();
popup.Placement = PlacementMode.Right;
popup.PlacementTarget = redRectangle;

popup.StaysOpen = false;
popup.IsOpen = true;



The intended behavior was that the popup would appear on the right of rectangle. Instead I got this:



Incorrect Popup Placement

There's not enough room on the right side of that rectangle for the entire dialog to fit on the screen, unless you haven't shown us the whole screen.

You'd think that might be the case; however if you resize the window it still is placed to the left.

I can't reproduce your issue. Which version on the .NET Framework and Windows are you on

Hi @mm8, I'm using .NET 4.6.1. One thing I did notice was that there needs to be enough room to display the popup on the left, otherwise the popup is coerced to the right.

I have .NET 4.7.1 installed and running your code the Popup is always displayed to the right of the rectangle as expected.

Firebase Auth - with Email and Password - Check user already registered

Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP Firebase Auth - with Email and Password - Check user already registered I want to check when a user attempts to signup with createUserWithEmailAndPassword() in Firebase user Authentication method, this user is already registered with my app. createUserWithEmailAndPassword() 8 Answers 8 To detect whether a user with that email address already exists, you can detect when the call to createUserWithEmailAndPassword () fails with auth/email-already-in-use . I see that @Srinivasan just posted an answer for this. createUserWithEmailAndPassword () auth/email-already-in-use Alternatively, you can detect that an email address is already used by calling fetchSignInMethodsForEmail() (previous called fetchProvidersForEmail() ). fetchSignInMethodsForEmail() fetchProvidersForEmail() When the user trying to create an user with same email address, the task response will be "Response: The email address is already in use by another account." mFirebas

Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP Dynamically update html content plain JS So I have a script bound in my index.html, which literally has to fetch an array of jsons from an api, then dynamically update my page when get response. But as a result I'm getting an as the only update of my page. here is my script fetch(url) .then((resp) => resp.json()) .then((resp) => resp.results.forEach(item => fetch(item.url) .then((response)=> response.json()) .then((response) => pokeArr.push(response)) .catch(console.log) ) ).catch(console.log) const filler = () => if(!pokeArr) return 0 pokeArr.map((i,j)=> return `<tr>$i.name</tr>` ) const pokeindex = () => document.getElementById('a').appendChild(document.createElement(filler())) pokeindex() When I'm consoling it, I can see in the console all the responses I get, so I'm at least doing the fetching part right. What's parberakan ? What's pokeArr ? – T.J. Crowder Aug 8 at 12

How to determine optimal route across keyboard

Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP How to determine optimal route across keyboard I'm trying to automate the typing process in a video game. Players are given an on-screen QWERTY keyboard layout that they can navigate with the control stick (up, down, left, right) in order to select a letter to type. I was wondering if there was a module for Python (or some other resource I could explore) that would help my program find a path across the keyboard as it types each letter in a given message. In other words, if the first letter typed was "A" and the next letter was "B", the module would know that the program should move 1 space down on the keyboard and 4 spaces to the right. Currently, I have the program resetting to the "G" key after each letter is typed (allowing me to use fixed-directions as the program parses each character in the desired message). As you can imagine, this is quite inefficient and defeats the purpose of automating the typing in the fir
