How can i align a popupcontrolcontainer around a cell?

Here is code that gives you the rectangle around the current cell in both grid coordinates and screen coordinates. Is this what you need?

Dim cc As GridCurrentCell = Me.GridControl1.CurrentCell
Dim rect As Rectangle = Me.GridControl1.RangeInfoToRectangle(GridRangeInfo.Cell(cc.RowIndex, cc.ColIndex))
Console.WriteLine(rect.ToString())
rect = Me.GridControl1.RectangleToScreen(rect)
Console.WriteLine(rect.ToString())

Is there a quick way to align the popupcontrolcontainer around the rectangle without adding a parentcontrol?

Peter,

No there is no easy way to do it. Someone has to implement the IPopupParent interface (and become the PopupControlContainer's PopupParent) and implement the GetLocationForPopupAlignment method.

A good sample is at:
