RadWindow close on server side

[drpcken]

I have a page with a RadWindow.  The page that loads in the radwindow is a login form.  Basically when teh Login button is pressed an integer is returned based on if the credentials are successfull or not.  If the integer is 0, it simply lets them know they have the wrong password, this is already setup and works.  However if the returned integer is 1, i want it to close the radwindow, run some serverside code based on a value passed from the RadWindow (ie the Users primary key) and redirect the parent page to another page.  Here is my server side code for the login page:

protected void submitbutton_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)

{

//checks credentials, returns 1 or 0

int authStatus = Authentication.AuthenticateEmployee(txtUsername.Text.Trim(),

Encryption.encryptStringSHA256(txtPassword.Text.Trim()));

switch (authStatus)

{

case 0:

lblStatus.Text = "code0: Your user does not have access";

break;

case 1:

lblStatus.Text = "code1: Successfull";

//here i want it to close the radwindow and run some server side code.

break;

}

}

I know how to pass values from the radwindow to the parent page, but I'm not sure how to access those values server side.

Hi,

Try the following code snippet.

CS:

protected void submitbutton_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
      . . .
    switch (authStatus)
    {
        case 0:
            lblStatus.Text = "code0: Your user does not have access";
            break;
        case 1:
            lblStatus.Text = "code1: Successfull";
            // some server side code.
            string script = "<script language='javascript' type='text/javascript'>Sys.Application.add_load(CloseAndRedirect);</script>";
            ClientScript.RegisterStartupScript(this.GetType(), "Close", script);
            break;
    }
}

JavaScript:

<script type="text/javascript">
function CloseAndRedirect(sender, args)
{
    GetRadWindow().BrowserWindow.location.href = 'loggedIn.aspx';        //Redirect to new url
    GetRadWindow().close();       //closes the window
}
function GetRadWindow()   //Get reference to window
{
    var oWindow = null;
    if (window.radWindow)
         oWindow = window.radWindow;
    else if (window.frameElement.radWindow)
         oWindow = window.frameElement.radWindow;
    return oWindow;
}
</script>

Thanks,
Shinu.

Thanks for the help but that code isn't working.  I pasted it exactly as you put it.  It successfully authenticated but it doesn't close the window and redirect the parent page.

Any idea why?

Hello,

The code is working fine in my end (with RadControls version 2009.01.0311.35). Can you put break point and see whether the client side function is executing or not?
Checkout the code library which demonstrates how RadWindow can be used for a login form which will redirect the parent page to a specific URL after a successful login.
Using r.a.d.window for a login form

Thanks,

I know this is an older post but I had trouble with the example as well. I got it to work with the following:

string script = "<script language='javascript' type='text/javascript'>Sys.Application.add_load(CloseWindow);</script>";

RadScriptManager.RegisterStartupScript(this, this.GetType(), "CloseWindow", script, false);

Since I am using the RadScript manager, I needed to register the script with it instead of the normal script manager. I think that is why it works.

Hello Drpcken,

I believe that the "Calling radalert from codebehind" KB article will be of help.

how to still open radwindow while redirecting to another page.

[Marin Bratanov]

Hello Kamal,

The RadWindow is a control that "lives" in the page, so if you redirect to another one the old page is disposed and you cannot have a RadWindow open during this time, as its object is, naturally, also disposed. As for the new page - the earliest possible time when you can show a RadWindow is the Sys.Application.Load event, as this is when AJAX-enabled controls are loaded.


Kind regards,
