Closing Parent Window From Child Window

[Sunil]

Hello,

 Here's my scenario:

1.  I have 3 pages.  The first page (let's call it MainPage.aspx) opens a RadWindow1.  RadWindow1 opens RadWindow2

2.  In RadWindow2, some processing is done, and after the processing, from the code behind in RadWindow2, I want to close RadWindow1.  However, I want to keep RadWindow2.

3.  On loading RadWindow1 from MainPage.aspx, I want to redirect the main page to a different aspx page.

 

 

 This is the current code:

Code in MainPage.aspx That Opens RadWindow1 (ID = OpenTok)

==================================================

 ASPX

=====

 <telerik:RadWindowManager runat="server" ID="RadWindowManager1">
        <Windows>
            <telerik:RadWindow ID="openTok"  NavigateUrl="OpenTokWindow.aspx" Header="Loading Settings ..." VisibleStatusbar ="false" VisibleOnPageLoad="false" Modal="false" OffsetElementID="main" InitialBehaviors="Maximize" runat="server" />
        </Windows>
    </telerik:RadWindowManager>

 JavaScript

========

GetRadWindowManager().open(url, "openTok");

 

Code in RadWindow1 That Opens RadWindow2 (ID = cogTest)

================================================== 

ASPX

===== 

<telerik:RadWindowManager runat="server" ID="RadWindowManager1">
        <Windows>
            <telerik:RadWindow ID="cogTest" Skin="Sunset" NavigateUrl="JSCognitiveAssessment.aspx" VisibleOnPageLoad="false"  Header="Cognitive Assessment" VisibleStatusbar="false" Modal="false" OffsetElementID="main" InitialBehaviors="Maximize" runat="server" />
        </Windows>
    </telerik:RadWindowManager>

 

JavaScript

========

 function GetRadWindow() {
         var oWindow = null; if (window.radWindow)
             oWindow = window.radWindow; else if (window.frameElement.radWindow)
                 oWindow = window.frameElement.radWindow; return oWindow;
     }

 

var oBrowserWnd = GetRadWindow().BrowserWindow;
      oBrowserWnd.hide();

        
      function closeWin() {
          oBrowserWnd.close();
      }

 

 GetRadWindowManager().open(null, "cogTest");

 

Closing the RadWindow1 from RadWindow2 code behind

============================================

string script = "function f(){closeWin(); Sys.Application.remove_load(f);}Sys.Application.add_load(f);";
        ScriptManager.RegisterStartupScript(Page, Page.GetType(), "key", script, true); 

 

Thank you for any information.

Hi Sunil,

You need to call a function on the parent page that will get a reference to, and close, the first dialog: http://docs.telerik.com/devtools/aspnet-ajax/controls/window/how-to/calling-functions-in-windows. The following article will explain how to get these references and how to use the control API: http://docs.telerik.com/devtools/aspnet-ajax/controls/window/client-side-programming/overview. You may also find useful the following code library sample: http://www.telerik.com/support/code-library/creating-parent-child-relationships-between-radwindows-and-passing-data-between-them. It shows how you can have a reference to the first dialog within the second so you can modify it (e.g., close() it).

As for redirecting the main page to another page when you open a RadWindow - you can use the OnClientShow event for that (http://docs.telerik.com/devtools/aspnet-ajax/controls/window/client-side-programming/events/onclientshow), but redirecting the main page will dispose the RadWindow.

Marin,

Thank you for your response.  If you look through my code, you will see that I have already tried doing this.  After your response, I read through the articles and tried other ways without success.

I am unable to close the RadWindow1 from RadWindow2 code behind. 

In addition, I am unable to re-direct the MainPage.aspx when RadWindow1 is launched from the main page.  I am not sure what you mean by "main page will dispose the Radwindow".

 

Can you please show me an example based on my code I posted?

Sunil

Hi Sunil,

As an exception, I have prepared a sample that shows one way to handle this scenario, which is based on the articles I linked above.

As for redirecting the page when a RadWindow opens - I am attaching another sample that very clearly shows what will happen.
