DetailView as popup

Hello Birger,

To accomplish this task, you can handle the ListViewProcessCurrentObjectController.CustomizeShowViewParameters event as shown below:

C#
using DevExpress.ExpressApp.SystemModule;  
 public class ViewController1 : ViewController<ListView> {  
    protected override void OnActivated() {  
        base.OnActivated();  
        Frame.GetController<ListViewProcessCurrentObjectController>().CustomizeShowViewParameters += ViewController1_CustomizeShowViewParameters;  
    }  
    void ViewController1_CustomizeShowViewParameters(object sender, CustomizeShowViewParametersEventArgs e) {  
        e.ShowViewParameters.TargetWindow = TargetWindow.NewModalWindow;  
        e.ShowViewParameters.Context = TemplateContext.PopupWindow;  
        e.ShowViewParameters.Controllers.Add(Application.CreateController<DialogController>());  
    }  
    protected override void OnDeactivated() {  
        base.OnDeactivated();  
        Frame.GetController<ListViewProcessCurrentObjectController>().CustomizeShowViewParameters -= ViewController1_CustomizeShowViewParameters;  
    }  
}  

Refer to the How to show DetailView shown by the New and Edit actions in a popup window ticket for additional information.

To show this form using a button in the ribbon control, use the following solution: Add an Action that Displays a Pop-up Window. This topic shows how to create a ListView. To create a DetailView, use the XafApplication.CreateDetailView method. Alternatively, you can use a SimpleAction and call the ListViewProcessCurrentObjectController.ProcessCurrentObjectAction.DoExecute method in its Execute event handler to emulate the default double click functionality.

Let me know if you need further assistance.
