Remove Statusbar on Window Launched from within Window?

[Peter]

I've been having trouble removing the statusbar from a window launched from within a window. Is this possible to accomplish?

I've read that this cannot be done with client side code, which is how I am currently launching the window. I've tried to, instead, define a window in my masterpage, and then try to get a reference to it from my window, and launch it from there, but with no luck.

The code I am currently using to launch a window from a window is -

function LaunchSalesRequest() {
        var parent = GetRadWindow().BrowserWindow;
        var salesRequest = parent.radopen("SalesRequest.aspx", "Sales Request For New Client");
        salesRequest.set_width(720);
        salesRequest.set_height(580);
        salesRequest.center();
        salesRequest.set_status(""); // would like to remove statusbar, not just blank it
        salesRequest.set_title("Sales Request For New Client");
        setTimeout(function() { attach.setActive(true); }, 0);
    }

Hello Peter,

Try the following line of code in order to hide the statusbar of radwindow and see whether it is working fine.

salesRequest.GetStatusbar().style.cssText = "display: none;";

Thanks,
Shinu

Hi Peter,

In your code, you have the following line:
 var salesRequest = parent.radopen("SalesRequest.aspx", "Sales Request For New Client");
Note that the second parameter of the radopen function is the RadWindow's name (e.g. its ID). You cannot have an ID of several words, it should be a single word like MyWindow, RadWIndow1 etc. I believe this is the reason why you cannot open the predefined RadWindow on the parent page.

Shinu -  that code produced some interesting results. It got rid of the statusbar, but it also made the statusbar "see through". As in, where the statusbar used to be, I could see through to the parent page.

Georgi - I have now change my code to be a single word, but I don't know how that helps my situation. If i'm trying to reference a window defined on the parent page, I wouldn't be using the radopen function, would I? I'd be doing something like -

<telerik:RadWindow ID="rwWhatever" runat="server" Skin="Office2007"
OpenerElementID="<%# rwWhatever.ClientID %>" Width="300" Height="150"
VisibleStatusbar="false">
</telerik:RadWindow>

function LaunchSalesRequest() {
   var parent = GetRadWindow().BrowserWindow;
   parent.GetRadWindowManager().getWindowById("<%= rwWhatever.ClientID %>").show();
}

Hi Peter,

Thank you for the additional details. I prepared for you a small sample that shows how to call a RadWindow with no statusbar from within another RadWindow by using 2 different approaches. The first one is when you have a RadWindowManager on the parent page and the second one is used when a RadWindow is declared as a standalone control on the parent page.

I hope this helps.

All the best,

Use : VisibleStatusbar="false" that worked for me.

 <telerik:RadWindow ID="RadWindow3" runat="server" Modal="True" Width="600px" Height="700px"
                    NavigateUrl="ModelContracts.aspx" Behaviors="Resize, Move" OnClientClose="OnClientClose" VisibleStatusbar="false">
                </telerik:RadWindow>

VisibleStatusbar="false" does not work for me.

I get no status bar - but I get a blank area at the bottom of the RadWindow that I can use and I can't get rid of.

<telerik:RadWindow runat="server" Width="550px" Height="350px" VisibleStatusbar="false"
                ID="RadWindow1" Modal="true" Behaviors="Close,Move"
                OnClientClose="OnClientClose" >
</telerik:RadWindow>

Hi Jeff,

Which is the version of RadControls that you are using? Does this happen only with a certain browser (e.g. IE9) and not with others (e.g. FireFox)? Are you using the AutoSize property? I am asking this because there has been an issue with autosizing under IE9 where some space was added at the bottom and this has been fixed, so upgrading to the latest can resolve the case. I am attaching here a simple sample that works fine with me. Could you compare it with your actual setup and try to find the difference that are causing the problem?

Kind regards,

Hello Marin,

Thank you for your response. I get this blank space in both Firefox and IE9. The only two I have tested on.

I have tried setting AutoSize to false and true - with no change for 'false' and triple more extra space for 'true'.

I have colored body, html and form areas and this blank space proves to be part of the html. I used your CSS styling setting for page height, width, zero padding/margin; etc. Nothing seems to get rid of this space.

Hi Jeff,

This is rather odd, because such behavior has not yet been reported.

Most browsers have a limit on the minimal size a RadWindow can have (i.e. an iframe inside a table), but IE does not have it, so if this is the cause IE should not exhibit this behavior. This minimal height is about 150px for the iframe.

If the space is coming from the content page - does it also manifest when you load the page in a simple iframe and directly in the browser? If it does in either of these cases then the problem should be in the content page itself - e.g. invalid HTML, some CSS rule, etc.
