Open bigger RadWindow inside a parent RadWindow

[Mukesh]

Hello all,

I need to open a RadWindow inside another RadWindow, but my requirement is to open child window bigger than the parent window.

The below article fulfills my requirement, but It is in Q3 version and I am using Q1 version.
http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-ajax/window/examples/autosize/defaultcs.aspx

So please suggest, if there is any workaround in Q1 version.

Thanks
Mukesh

Hello Mukesh,

When opening a RadWindow from within another RadWindow I would generally advise that you actually open it from the parent page, as shown in this help article: http://www.telerik.com/help/aspnet-ajax/window-programming-opening-from-within-dialog.html. In this way the second one is not confined in the first.

On a side note - I would advise that you upgrade to the latest version, since many fixes and improvements have been made for the past two years and also IE9 support was added in Q1 2011.


All the best,
Marin

This works but it causes the parent window to close and goes back to the main form. 

How can i open a radWindow, then another that is bigger, then close the top level and keep the first radwindow open. I also need to call back to the first radWindow with ajax.

Hello Kim,

I can suggest that you examine thoroughly Window - Return Values from a Dialog online demo, that illustrates the desired functionality. Said shortly:

• a RadWindow is opened from within another RadWindow in the context of the parent page, so that the first window is not kept visible.
• the argument from the initial RadWindow is transferred to the parent page in the close() function and is read in the OnClientClose function on the parent page.
