FarPoint.Win Assembly > FarPoint.Win Namespace > PopupWindowHelper Class : ShowPopup Method


owner
Main form which owns the popup
location
Location relative to the screen to show the popup at.

Glossary Item Box

Shows the specified Form as a popup window, keeping the Owner's title bar active and preparing to cancel the popup should the user click anywhere outside the popup window.

Typical code to use this message is as follows:

               frmPopup popup = new frmPopup();
               Point location = this.PointToScreen(new Point(button1.Left, button1.Bottom));
               popupHelper.ShowPopup(this, popup, location);

Put as much initialisation code as possible into the popup form's constructor, rather than the System.Windows.Forms.Form.Load event as this will improve visual appearance.
