RadWindow closes, now update/refresh radGrid on parent page

You can hook to the OnClientClose event of the RadWIndow and use document.location.reload() or document.location.href = document.location.href to reload / refresh the page.

e.g.
<script type="text/javascript">
function OnClientClose(sender,args)
{
//your code here
}
</script>
<telerik:radwindow id="RadWindow1" runat="server" OnClientClose="OnClientClose" />

Best wishes,

closeWin()

{

var oWnd = GetRadWindow();

oWnd.close();

document.location.reload();

}

I added the document.location.reload(); line like you suggested.  But the parent page still does not refresh after clicking the button.  Did I put this line in the proper spot?

Thanks,
Bob

closeWin()

{

var oWnd = GetRadWindow();

oWnd.close();

}

Are you telling me that this code should instead be in the HTML of my parent page?

refreshGrid()
{ 
var radMgr = $find("<%=PrometheusRadAjaxManager.ClientID %>"); radMgr.ajaxRequest("Rebind");
} 

<

telerik:RadAjaxManager ID="PrometheusRadAjaxManager" runat="server" onajaxrequest="PrometheusRadAjaxManager_AjaxRequest">
<AjaxSettings><telerik:AjaxSetting AjaxControlID="PrometheusRadAjaxManager">
<UpdatedControls>
<telerik:AjaxUpdatedControl ControlID="PrometheusRadGrid" />
</UpdatedControls>
</telerik:AjaxSetting>
</AjaxSettings>
</telerik:RadAjaxManager>

And in code behind use this code, 

protected void PrometheusRadAjaxManager_AjaxRequest(object sender, Telerik.Web.UI.AjaxRequestEventArgs e)
{
if (e.Argument == "Rebind")
{
PrometheusRadGrid.MasterTableView.SortExpressions.Clear();
PrometheusRadGrid.MasterTableView.GroupByExpressions.Clear();
PrometheusRadGrid.Rebind();
}
}

Hope this helps

I had a similar problem to the one that was presented. I had a RadGrid control in an ASP.NET table inside a Rad Multi Page control. Nothing I did seem to update the RadGrid short of refreshing the entire page until I remembered a piece of information in your literature on the RadAjaxManager. Your literature stated that the RadAjaxManager inherited from the Ajax Manager from Microsoft. So I wrapped the grid in an Update Panel and set its update mode property to conditional. Then during the Ajax Request I found the control and forced it to update the panel as the last act. It worked like a charm. My philosophy is why re-invent the wheel when there’s a control for that?

Gary, indeed RadAjaxManager can be easily replaced with standard asp update panel in some simple scenarios. However, it has much more intuitive and easy settings when configuring more complex scenarios. For example with the manager you do not need to specify triggers, to handle the PageRequestManager request events, to use Application.load handler when executing script from the server after AJAX, etc. For many of our customers this is a big convenience and thus we have developed the control. However, if you are dealing with a more simple scenario and you prefer to use standard update panel, you can do that since all of our controls are perfectly integrated with MS AJAX and they do not require using RadAjax.

Djb, when you attach client handlers for RadControls, you should simply set the name of the function which is the handler as shown below:

while you have tried to attach the handler as for a standard asp button control.

Please, revise your code and let us know e=whether this fixed the problem.

Hello Spiros,

From the way you reference the controls, it seems they are all on the same page, so the RadWindow's ContentTemplate is used. If this is not the case you would need to access the parent page's grid properly.

The most likely reason for lose of interactivity on the page is a JavaScript error, so I advise that you examine the browser console and debug the scripts to see if/what error is raised in order to fix it.

Hello Asutosh,

Based on this information, it seems you are using your RadWindow(s) with their ContentTemplate. In this case all their content is on the same page and z-index rules apply to it: http://www.telerik.com/help/aspnet-ajax/controlling-absolute-positioning-with-zindex.html. A maximized RadWindow gets a very large z-index value, so other absolutely positioned elements like dropdowns would remain behind it.

To avoid this, simply set its ShowOnTopWhenMaximized property to false (it defaults to true).


Regards,

I need to update the radWindow control from a button that is located internally in the radwindow.

The scenario I have is as follows:
Since a main form I call radwindow and it displays me another form, which contains a textbox and a radgrid. When I digit something in the textbox and press down on the button to add, I need to reload the radwindow like the effect of having the radwindow.

As I do this?

sorry for my english, is not very good xD!! 

Thank you for your help.

Hi Melvin,

I suggest keeping your query in the separate thread you have opened: http://www.telerik.com/forums/how-to-refresh-radwindow.

I would advise that you keep threads concise in the future by posting in relevant threads or opening new ones, instead of branching the main question with another one.
