Create a custom window like Telerik

[Sonia]

 

Hi !

I am using telerik datagird and docking APIs for my application. I need to create a popup window when a certain events gets trigger in my application and I want the popup window to looks exactly like Telerik. The only control for the popup I am interested is to be able to close the popup using "X" and an option to pin the popup to the canvas of my application and able to scroll the content in the popup..

1. Can you let me know if there is a way I can create an custom window for my popup with the functionality mentioned above using telerik which will not impact the performance of my application by allot because I am planning to have many of these popup pinned to my canvas at a time.

2. I created a prototype using telerik docking API to create a popup but I am not sure if it will performance heavy on my application. Please look at the code and let me know if can impact performance on my application if I have may popup open.

StackPanel>
 <telerikDocking:RadDocking>
  <telerikDocking:RadPaneGroup>
   <telerikDocking:RadPane Header="Fiber PopUp." ContextMenuTemplate="{x:Null}">
    <TextBlock Text="This is a test " />
   </telerikDocking:RadPane>
  </telerikDocking:RadPaneGroup>
 </telerikDocking:RadDocking>
</StackPanel>

3. If I have to create my own custom window, what is the color code of the telerik boarder. It is bleu but I need the exact color code to have a similar window to telerik.


Your help will greatly appreciated,

Thanks a lot,

Sonia

Hi !

I was browsing though your web site and I noticed that you provide functionality called RadWindow.  Can I use that for my popup? Can I cutomize it to add the pinnable option to the window.  I am new to WPF can you please send me an example on how to use telerik radwindow for my applicaion or you don't have an example then can you let me know what steps I should follow in my application?  Also can you tell me what dll I need for this option.

Thanks,

Sonia

Hello Sonia,

Thank you for contacting us.

RadWindow allows you to add a popups to our application. But pinning a popup to a stack panel is not an easy task. I would suggest you to use the floating windows in the RadDocking control. You could easily pin the floating windows to a group of the RadDocking control.
For more information about RadDocking control, you could refer to the following links:

• our online documentation - http://www.telerik.com/help/wpf/raddocking-overview2.html
• our online examples - http://demos.telerik.com/wpf/?Docking/FirstLook 

Please do not hesitate to contact us if you require any further information.

Best wishes,
