Event Data

The CustomizeTemplate event's data class is CustomizeTemplateEventArgs. The following properties provide information specific to this event:

Property	Description
Context	Returns the context in which the Template to be customized was created.
Template	Provides access to the Template to be customized.

Remarks

A Pop-up Window Show Action displays a pop-up Window with a specified View. In a Windows Forns application, the PopupForm or LookupForm Template is used, depending on whether a Detail or List View is included. In an ASP.NET Web application, the Dialog.aspx page is used as a Template. To customize the pop-up Window’s Template, handle the CustomizeTemplate event that occurs after assigning the Template to the Window. Use the handler’s CustomizeTemplateEventArgs.Template parameter to access the Template.

The following code snipped demonstrates a sample CustomizeTemplate event handler implementation. The code displays Actions from the PopupActions category at the top of the pop-up window, in Windows Forms applications.

C#

using DevExpress.ExpressApp.Templates;
using DevExpress.ExpressApp.Win.Templates.ActionContainers;
using DevExpress.XtraLayout;
//...
private void MyPopupAction_CustomizeTemplate(object sender, CustomizeTemplateEventArgs e) {
    foreach (IActionContainer container in e.Template.GetContainers()) {
        if (container.ContainerId == "PopupActions" && container is ButtonsContainer) {
            LayoutControl layoutControl = (LayoutControl)((ButtonsContainer)container).Parent;
            layoutControl.Dock = System.Windows.Forms.DockStyle.Top;
            break;
        }
    }
}

VB.NET

Imports DevExpress.ExpressApp.Templates
Imports DevExpress.ExpressApp.Win.Templates.ActionContainers
Imports DevExpress.XtraLayout
'...
Private Sub MyPopupAction_CustomizeTemplate( _
ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As CustomizeTemplateEventArgs)
    For Each container As IActionContainer In e.Template.GetContainers()
        If container.ContainerId = "PopupActions" AndAlso _
        TypeOf container Is ButtonsContainer Then
            Dim layoutControl As LayoutControl = _

            layoutControl.Dock = System.Windows.Forms.DockStyle.Top
            Exit For
        End If
    Next container
End Sub
