How to: Display Custom Controls in Popup

• Nov 13, 2018

The following example creates a PopupContainerEdit class instance and displays a RichTextBox control in the popup window.

First, we create and customize a RichTextBox control. Then, a PopupContainerControl object is created and this will contain the RichTextBox.

To display the PopupContainerControl in the popup window, it should be assigned to the RepositoryItemPopupContainerEdit.PopupControl property.

C#

  RichTextBox rtb = new RichTextBox();
  rtb.Dock = DockStyle.Fill;
  PopupContainerControl popupControl = new PopupContainerControl();
  popupControl.Controls.Add(rtb);

  PopupContainerEdit editor = new PopupContainerEdit();
  editor.Properties.PopupControl = popupControl;
  Controls.Add(editor);

VB.NET

  Dim rtb As RichTextBox = New RichTextBox
  rtb.Dock = DockStyle.Fill
  Dim popupControl As PopupContainerControl = New PopupContainerControl
  popupControl.Controls.Add(rtb)

  Dim editor As PopupContainerEdit = New PopupContainerEdit
  editor.Properties.PopupControl = popupControl
  Controls.Add(editor)
