Question

I have a Devexpress Gridview. I generated a GridViewCommandColumnCustomButton in that Gridview on server side.

GridViewCommandColumn coldescriptor = new GridViewCommandColumn();                                              
GridViewCommandColumnCustomButton CusButton = new GridViewCommandColumnCustomButton();
CusButton.ID = "btnPopup";
coldescriptor.VisibleIndex = 2; 
CusButton.Image.Url = "~/Images/color2.jpg";
coldescriptor.ButtonType = ButtonType.Image;                        
coldescriptor.CustomButtons.Add(CusButton);
ggc_preview.Columns.Add(coldescriptor);

On that Custom button click, I need to open a popup either by devexpress popup control or any other means.
Inside that popup control I need to load some controls dynamically.

How can I open popup on GridViewCommandColumnCustomButton click?

Answer 1

Perform the following steps to accomplish this task:

• Handle the client-side CustomButtonClick event;

• Show the ASPxPopupControl via the client-side Show method.

I usually use DevExpress Search service for such questions.

ggc_preview.ClientSideEvents.CustomButtonClick = string.Format("function(s, e) {{ if(e.buttonID = 'btnPopup') {0}.Show(); }}", ASPxPopupControl_ClientInstanceName_Here);
