I did find a small problem though, if the cue's are displayed and the visiblity of the control changes, the cues can be left. To fix this I hooked up to the IsVisible property to the control so it would remove the cue if it was visible. Not sure if I fixed in the best manner, but it seems to work. private static void CueBannerPropertyChanged(DependencyObject d, DependencyPropertyChangedEventArgs e) { Control control = (Control) d; control.Loaded += control_Loaded; DependencyPropertyDescriptor isVisiblePropertyDescriptor = DependencyPropertyDescriptor.FromProperty(Control.IsVisibleProperty, d.GetType()); isVisiblePropertyDescriptor.AddValueChanged(d, control_IsVisibleChanged); .... private static void control_IsVisibleChanged(object sender, EventArgs e) { Control control = (Control) sender; if( !ShouldShowCueBanner(control) || !control.IsVisible ) RemoveCueBanner(control); } Great code, I didn’t even think about adding a cue like that.

private static void CueBannerPropertyChanged(DependencyObject d, DependencyPropertyChangedEventArgs e)
{
Control control = (Control) d;
control.Loaded += control_Loaded;
DependencyPropertyDescriptor isVisiblePropertyDescriptor = DependencyPropertyDescriptor.FromProperty(Control.IsVisibleProperty, d.GetType());
isVisiblePropertyDescriptor.AddValueChanged(d, control_IsVisibleChanged);

….

private static void control_IsVisibleChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Control control = (Control) sender;
if( !ShouldShowCueBanner(control) || !control.IsVisible )
RemoveCueBanner(control);
}

Something weird happened between Wordpress and Windows Live Writer. I've hopefully fixed it. You should see the link at the bottom of the post. Thanks Scott.

But I didn't see a download link anywhere. I was going to play with your CueBanner, but wasn't sure if I had to cut and paste my way to a file or if there was some place to download some working code. Thanks! Nice post!
