Poptip don't let interact with controls inside the Poptip

[jhm-ciberman]

Describe the bug Poptip don't let interact with controls inside the Poptip.

The idea is that I have a selector with multiple predefined date ranges (30 days, 60 days, this year, etc) and one option for "Custom..." at the end:

When the user clicks the "Custom..." option I want to show a Poptip with some controls that let the user select a custom date range:

The problem is that the poptip seems to be blocking me from interact with the controls. The other four controls don't seems to receive clicks.

This is the code I use:

                            </Grid.RowDefinitions>
                            <TextBlock Grid.Column="0" Grid.Row="0" VerticalAlignment="Center" Margin="0,0,20,10" Text="Desde"/>

                            <hc:TimePicker Grid.Column="2" Grid.Row="1" ErrorStr="" SelectedTime="{Binding SelectedEndTime, UpdateSourceTrigger=PropertyChanged}"/>
                        </Grid>

                </DockPanel>
            </hc:Poptip.Content>
        </ComboBox>
    </Grid>
</UserControl>

Also, the documentation mentions hc:Poptip.Instance but it seems it does not exists currently in HandyControls

Expected behavior The poptip should let the user interact with controls inside

Environment (please complete the following information):

• .net: 5
• IDE VS2019
• Version HandyControls 3.3.9

Well. I ended up using a <Popup> element, with some customization:

So, for someone trying to make something like this, you can use the <Popup> control.

The bug still exists. Maybe it's not a bug and it's a limitation of the Poptip control. In either case it should be documented.
