ASPxPopupControl.LoadContentViaCallback Property

Gets or sets a value specifying the content loading mode for the ASPxPopupControl.

Namespace: DevExpress.Web

Assembly: DevExpress.Web.v20.2.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Web

Declaration

[DefaultValue(LoadContentViaCallback.None)]
public LoadContentViaCallback LoadContentViaCallback { get; set; }

Property Value

Type Default Description
LoadContentViaCallback **None**

One of the LoadContentViaCallback enumeration values.

Available values:

Name Description
None

Specifies that the content is always (initially) rendered inside popup windows.

OnFirstShow

Specifies that loading of popup window contents starts when a popup window is invoked for the first time.

OnPageLoad

Specifies that loading of the popup window contents starts immediately after the entire page has been loaded.

Remarks

Use the LoadContentViaCallback property to control when a popup window’s content should be loaded - always, on page load, or when the window is first shown.

Using the postponed load of popup window contents (by setting the LoadContentViaCallback property to LoadContentViaCallback.OnPageLoad or LoadContentViaCallback.OnFirstShow), you can enhance the response time of your web page on its initial load.

Note that you can also update the content of popup windows programmatically, on demand (by using the client ASPxClientPopupControlBase.PerformCallback method).

On-demand window loading is realized by sending a callback to the server for the popup window’s content. During callback, a specific loading panel can be displayed within the window.

Note

The LoadContentViaCallback property does not influence the ASPxPopupControl loading content process if the content is specified via the ASPxPopupControlBase.ContentUrl or PopupWindow.ContentUrl property.

Example

At present, ASPxPopupControl does not have the built-in capability to resize nested controls when it's resizing. This example illustrates how to automatically resize controls places inside the popup.

To accomplish this task, execute the following steps:

  1. Set the ScrollBars property to "Auto". This option will allow the popup control to evaluate the content width and height.

  2. Handle the AfterResizing event. In this event handler, call the AdjustControl method for a desired control to force it to reevaluate its size.

  3. Place the control into the <div style="height: 100%; width: 100%; overflow: hidden"> element. This element is necessary to overcome scrollbars that can be shown when ScrollBars="Auto" is set.
