Getting Started with WinForms PopupEditor

This article shows how you can start using RadPopupEditor.

Adding Telerik Assemblies Using NuGet

To use RadPopupEditor when working with NuGet packages, install the Telerik.UI.for.WinForms.AllControls package. The package target framework version may vary.

Read more about NuGet installation in the Install using NuGet Packages article.

With the 2025 Q1 release, the Telerik UI for WinForms has a new licensing mechanism. You can learn more about it here.

Adding Assembly References Manually

When dragging and dropping a control from the Visual Studio (VS) Toolbox onto the Form Designer, VS automatically adds the necessary assemblies. However, if you're adding the control programmatically, you'll need to manually reference the following assemblies:

Telerik.Licensing.Runtime
Telerik.WinControls
Telerik.WinControls.UI
TelerikCommon

The Telerik UI for WinForms assemblies can be install by using one of the available installation approaches.

Defining the RadPopupEditor

This article shows how you can start using RadPopupEditor. Go ahead and add RadPopupEditor and RadPopupContainer to a form. The result should look like in Figure 1.

Add three text boxes, four labels and two buttons to the RadPopupContainer. Arrange the controls like in Figure 2.

Figure 2: Sample Layout.

WinForms RadPopupEditor Sample Layout

Add Click event handlers for the both buttons and then use the following code in them:

Buttons event handlers

private void radButton1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    this.radPopupEditor1.Text = radTextBox1.Text + " " + radTextBox2.Text;
    radPopupEditor1.PopupEditorElement.ClosePopup();
}
private void radButton2_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    this.radPopupEditor1.Text = "";
    radTextBox1.Text = "";
    radTextBox2.Text = "";
    radTextBox3.Text = "";
    radPopupEditor1.PopupEditorElement.ClosePopup();
}

Private Sub radButton1_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)
    Me.radPopupEditor1.Text = radTextBox1.Text & " " & radTextBox2.Text
    radPopupEditor1.PopupEditorElement.ClosePopup()
End Sub
Private Sub radButton2_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)
    Me.radPopupEditor1.Text = ""
    radTextBox1.Text = ""
    radTextBox2.Text = ""
    radTextBox3.Text = ""
    radPopupEditor1.PopupEditorElement.ClosePopup()
End Sub

This way when Submit is pressed the name will be displayed in the control's text box.
