RadWindow within a content control

[alvin shih]

I want to have a Rad Window inside a container control.. meaning it can be moved around within the area of the content control.
I tried setting the RadWindow.Owner property to my content control but it is not working.
Any ideas?

Hello Alvin,

 Unfortunately this feature is not supported by the RadWindow control out-of-the-box, but it supports another feature that will make it easier for you to implement this yourself - you could use the RestrictedAreaMargin and IsRestricted properties. The RestrictedAreaMargin property describes the margin from the edge of the screen within which the RadWindow control can be moved. To implement the feature you want to you will need to update this property when your content control is moved or resized or the browser is resized.

Hope this helps.

Is there any update about this issue? RadWindow still couldn't be hosted within a content control?

Hello Bin,

Yes, RadWindow can not be hosted within a content control. As Miroslav said in the previous post you can achieve similar behavior using the RestrictedAreaMargin and IsRestricted properties.

Don't hesitate to contact us if you have other questions.

This is not answering the initial question posted by Alvin.  RestrictedAreaMargin has nothing to do with using a content control for rendering content within a RadWindow
