  Is it possible to register a RadWindow with the RadWindowManager on the client side (in JavaScript)?  That way, the window is created and registered dynamically, dramatically reducing markup and eliminating the need to register all windows ahead of time.

  Hello Patrick Carlile,
  
  You can open the RadWindow from client code whenever you want by using the radopen() method.
        var oWnd = radopen ("http://wwwo.gogle.com", null);
  
  The above code will open a new radwindow with url Google, and no need of adding the window in Radwindow's window collection.
  
  Checkout the following documentation for more information on opening radwindow from client code.

  Hope this suggestion helps,
  Shinu.

  I appreciate the help.  I was talking about rad windows that hadn't been pre-registered with the RadWindowManager.  I actually found a good way to do this on my own.  On the client side (JavaScript), RadWindowManager.CreateWindow(id) will create a new RadWindow.  Once it's registered, all of the properties required can be set.  It's helpful if you have the RadWindow source here, as you can see how that method sets all the properties.  This is what the RadWindow will call when Rendering, anyway.

  Hi Patrick,
  
  I just want to add something - if you follow Shinu's advice and use radopen(), when you don't specify a name for that window or set a name of a window that doesn't exist in the RadWindowManager's  <Windows> collection, the manager will create a new RadWindow with the default settings taken from the RadWindowManager. After that you could use the client-side API to set the needed properties.

  Ah, I see.  So registration is optional.  I think I was concerned about referencing the same Window a second time using that method.  I will mark his solution as the answer.  Thanks!

  Hello again Patrick,
  
  You will reference the same window only if you specify its name as a second parameter :)
  e.g.
  radopen("http://google.com", "RadWindow1");
  and
  radopen("http://yahoo.com", "RadWindow1");
  will always use the pre-defined (or already created) "RadWindow1" control.
  
  All the best,
