What is RadWindow?
RadWindow is an asp.net control that aims to replace the
browser-provided dialogs and alert/prompt/confirm boxes. It aims to provide a
straightforward way of creating modal and non-modal dialogs and windows, and
its minimization mode support aims to bring the web-application look and feel
closer to the desktop experience. The most important enhancements and
differences of RadWindow compared to the standard browser boxes are:
- allow full customization of the look and feel of the windows to achieve
seamless blending in the site (current alert, confirm boxes are quite ugly)
- provide rich client event model, that allows much greater flexibility than
the events in provided by the default browser windows
- keyboard support (accessibility feature)
- associate commands with shortcuts
- very flexible minimization modes that far exceed the one provided by the
browser
- circumvents the Windows XP SP2 popup blocker mechanism
- provides for cross-browser "modal" dialogs
