What to do for opening a Pop-Up in windows

[Gaurav]

Hi,
I am trying to create a user control (Windows).
I have a requirement to open a Pop-up from that control, can you please suggest which control i can use for the same.
I am using RadWindow in web applications.

Thanks
Gaurav

Hello Gaurav,

The RadWindow control is an ASP.NET control and it cannot be used in Windows forms applications. If you are looking for a RadWindow counterpart in our Winforms suite, then you have a couple of options, depending on your exact requirements:

• If you want something like a pop-up menu, you can use RadDropDownMenu or RadPopupControl
• If you want to show a window, use our ShapedForm or Form 
• If you want some kind of docking functionality, you should use RadDock for WinForms.

I hope this helps.

Kind regards,
Jack

Hi Gaurav,

Thank you for writing.

Here is an example of using RadPopupControl - feel free to use it as a reference:
 

   public partial class Form1 : ShapedForm
    {
        MyPopup radPopupControl1;

        public Form1()
        {
            InitializeComponent();

            radPopupControl1 = new MyPopup();
        }

        private void radButton1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            if (radPopupControl1.IsVisible)
            {
                radPopupControl1.Hide();
            }
            else
            {
                Point point = PointToScreen(this.radButton1.Location);
                point = new Point(point.X, point.Y + this.radButton1.Height);
                SetUpPopup(point);
                radPopupControl1.Show();
            }

        }

        private void SetUpPopup(Point location)
        {
            this.radPopupControl1.Size = new Size(100, 100);
            this.radPopupControl1.BackColor = SystemColors.AppWorkspace;
            this.radPopupControl1.Location = location;
            this.radPopupControl1.PopupText = "Hello world";
        }

    }

    public class MyPopup : RadPopupControl
    {
        LightVisualElement element;

        public MyPopup()
        {
            this.UseNewLayoutSystem = true;
        }

        public string PopupText
        {
            get
            {
                EnsureChildItems();
                return this.element.Text;
            }
            set
            {
                EnsureChildItems();
                this.element.Text = value;
            }
        }

        protected override void CreateChildItems(RadElement parent)
        {
            this.element = new LightVisualElement();
            this.element.DrawFill = true;
            this.element.DrawBorder = true;
            this.element.BackColor = Color.Red;
            this.element.ForeColor = Color.Yellow;
            this.element.GradientStyle = GradientStyles.Solid;
            parent.Children.Add(this.element);
        }
    }

I hope this was helpful. If you have additional questions, do not hesitate to contact me again.
