Open User Control in RAD Window?

[AlphaVegas]

Are there still plans to allow opening a User Control inside a RAD Window?

This thread from Feb. 2007 states that it is in the plans;

However, I still receive the 'This type of page is not served.' exception.

Thanks,
A.

Hi Alistair,

We considered that idea in our internal meetings, however we decided not to implement such feature because it is out of the scope of the control. The idea behind the RadWindow control is to replace the standard browser's window and to basically be a container which displays a content page different from the parent one.

The functionality that you need - to show a user control in a container can be achieved by either using RadDock or RadToolTip - we invite you to check them and choose the one that best suits your requirements.

If these two controls don't meet your requirements, can you please provide additional information on your exact scenario? It will help us provide you with the most appropriate solution.



Best wishes,

is there a way to open a radwindow from inside a user control?

Hi neb,

Please have a look into the sample code snippet to open a RadWindow inside the UserControl from the parent page.

ASCX:

<telerik:RadWindow ID="RadWindow1" runat="server">
    <ContentTemplate>
        RadWindow inside UserControl Page
    </ContentTemplate>
</telerik:RadWindow>

ASPX:

<uc1:RadWindow ID="UserControl1" runat="server" />
<telerik:RadButton ID="radbtnOpenWin" runat="server" Text="Open Window" OnClick="radbtnOpenWin_Click">
</telerik:RadButton>

C#:

protected void radbtnOpenWin_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    UserControl control = UserControl1 as UserControl;
    RadWindow window = control.FindControl("RadWindow1") as RadWindow;
    window.VisibleOnPageLoad = true;
}

Please elaborate your requirement if it doesn't help.
Thanks,
Shinu.

Hi guys,

I will also advise that you take a look at the approach described in the following article demonstrating how to open a RadWindow from the server-side by registering a startup script to the ScriptManager (so the window will be shown only once):
https://docs.telerik.com/devtools/aspnet-ajax/controls/window/troubleshooting/opening-from-the-server

Namely:

protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    //business logic goes here

    string script = "function f(){$find(\"" + RadWindow1.ClientID + "\").show(); Sys.Application.remove_load(f);}Sys.Application.add_load(f);";
    ScriptManager.RegisterStartupScript(Page, Page.GetType(), "key", script, true);
}

Regards,
Vessy
