How to retrieve the size of a popupMenu

[Michael Mann]

Hi,

I want to get the final size of the popupMenu to appear. It''s hosted in a parentBarItem, but not in a popupControlContainer. I just want to display the popupMenu at the top of a button. To achieve this, I need the total height of the popupMenu. How can I do this?

Thanks in advance

Hi Michael,

There is no direct API indicating the size of the PopupMenu. I have contacted the development team for their inputs on this issue and will update you with more information as soon as I hear from them. We appreciate your patience and cooperation.

Hi Michael, Please refer to the PopupsInDepth sample in the directory ...\Syncfusion\Essential Suite\2.0.5.1\Tools\Samples\Editors Package\PopupControlContainer\Advanced\PopupsInDepth. This shows how a PopupMenu can be displayed at a desired position and with a desired alignment. I have modified the sample to show the PopupMenu on top of the source control. Please refer to the code in GetLocationForPopupAlignment method. public Point GetLocationForPopupAlignment(PopupRelativeAlignment prevAlignment, out PopupRelativeAlignment newAlignment) { Rectangle bounds = this.Bounds; // This utility method takes a rectangle and returns the 8 positions around // it 1 at a time. It will start with the alignment specified in the 3rd argument. Point pos = PopupUtils.ComputeDefaultPopupAlignment(prevAlignment, out newAlignment, PopupRelativeAlignment.TopLeft, PopupRelativeAlignment.TopLeft, bounds); return this.Parent.PointToScreen(pos); } I have attached the modified sample here. Let me know if you need further assistance. We appreciate your continued interest in Syncfusion products. Regards, Guru Patwal Syncfusion, Inc.
