Hi there,

I am trying to follow your example, so i can warn the user for some requirement

http://demos.devexpress.com/ASPxperienceDemos/PopupControl/ClientSideAPI.aspx

I have attached a test project, in which i have the aspxtextbox within an aspxnavbar. My issue is the aspxpopcontrol does not show near by the appropriate element. Could you check what i am doing wrong here.

Thank you for your help

Hello Mohamed Haithem,

I'd like to note that the PopupWindow.PopupElementID property requires a Control.UniqueID. However, if a control resides in a naming container (ASPxNavBar in your situation, or similar), then its Control.UniqueID doesn't equal Control.ID and Control.ClientInstanceName. In your case, the ASPxTextBox.UniqueID is formed dynamically.

As a solution, I suggest that you set the PopupElementID property at runtime. For example:

[C#]

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) {
    ASPxTextBox txt1 = ASPxNavBar1.Groups[0].FindControl("text1") as ASPxTextBox;
    pcErrorW.Windows[0].PopupElementID = txt1.UniqueID;

    ASPxTextBox txt2 = ASPxNavBar1.Groups[1].FindControl("text2") as ASPxTextBox;
    pcErrorW.Windows[1].PopupElementID = txt2.UniqueID;
}
I've modified your project accordingly. Please check it, and let me know the result.

Thanks,
Marion

            ASPxTextBox txt1 = ASPxNavBar1.Groups[0].FindControl("text1") as ASPxTextBox;
            pcErrorW.Windows[0].PopupElementID = txt1.UniqueID;

            ASPxTextBox txt2 = ASPxNavBar1.Groups[1].FindControl("text2") as ASPxTextBox;
            pcErrorW.Windows[1].PopupElementID = txt2.UniqueID;
        }
