I saw the post

How to invoke a xaf view from a custom window, it seems that XAF doesn't support a lookup dialog from custom window.

how about a detailview item?

1/  show  detail view as popup dialog

2/ for (1), it must have a URL. I show the url from other cusom page...  ( I tried, sometimes session lost...)

is it possible?

Does this help? http://www.devexpress.com/Support/Center/kb/p/K18080.aspx

it is different. E911 is to show custom window from XAF, while this one is trying to show xaf detailview item from the custom window.

to  make it short,

I show a webcontrol (custom form) in xaf using the methond in E911, --StandardEmbeddedFormWithCustomControl---

in this form, I have a button click and want to show a popup detailview item...

I use shortcut, but always got an error...

Here is an example of creating a DetailView in Popup

http://www.devexpress.com/Support/Center/p/Q95419.aspx

Notice the Execute of the SimpleAction:

private void simpleAction1_Execute(object sender, SimpleActionExecuteEventArgs e) {
            e.ShowViewParameters.Controllers.Add(new Solution1.Module.Web.PopupActionViewController(View as ListView));
            ObjectSpace objectSpace = Application.CreateObjectSpace();
            MyPopup myPopup = new MyPopup(objectSpace.Session, "Click OK to persist a new MyObject.");
            e.ShowViewParameters.CreatedView = Application.CreateDetailView(objectSpace, Application.FindDetailViewId(typeof(MyPopup)), true, myPopup);
            (e.ShowViewParameters.CreatedView as DetailView).ViewEditMode = DevExpress.ExpressApp.Editors.ViewEditMode.View;
            e.ShowViewParameters.Context = TemplateContext.PopupWindow;
            e.ShowViewParameters.TargetWindow = TargetWindow.Modal;
        }

thanks for the reply. I already read this article, but my goal is to pop up from a custom web form.

it is like : reuse the detail item (edit) from other web forums,

I could use the full url:

default.aspx?ShortcutViewID=object_detailview&....

but I want to show the dialog without the left navbar, so my problem is the same as the original poster.

I am not sure if XAF can do that...

I had a similar requirement and got it working using the previous post link.  What I did was design my custom form using a UserControl, then created an ASPxPropertyEditor which looked something like this for loading the custom control:

protected override object CreateControlCore() {
            return WebWindow.CurrentRequestPage.LoadControl("~/CustomUserControls/WebCustomUserControl.ascx");
        }

Then I had a Controller for that custom object which had some Action buttons to handle what I needed.  
So the actual buttons were not on the UserControl but handled using the Framework.

unfortunately, the web form I used is a silverlight web form, it is difficult to include in the createControlCore. so I have to jump xaf-- web form --call xaf detailview to reuse

I saw silmilar needs from others, but not sure if there is a solution. I can design a detailview web form out of xaf, but it is waste ...

I have not tried using Silverlight within XAF but I think it still may be possible.  As I mentioned before create an ASPxPropertyEditor, then for the returning control you could dynamically create a UserControl and add the Silverlight tag in code or as the example I showed you in the prior post.

Have a look at: <asp:Silverlight ID="Xaml1" runat="server" Source="~/ClientBin/SL2HttpPost.xap" Version="2.0" Width="100%" Height="100%" />

thanks for your suggestion. I will try to include the Silverlight in the detail view.

the problem is:

the event is fired from the custom control, not the from the controller action. for example, I have a button in the custom user control, click it and popup the  detailview.

how to link the action(pop up detailview) and the buttonClick?

I also have the same problem。
