Animation with position

[Ben White]

Hi,

I have a RadWindowManager.

In the code behind I create a new window after a button click and set the OffsetElementID together with an animation effect (fade)

The animation effect does not seem to work whenever I use the OffsetElementID.

Has anyone come across this before?

Thanks.

Hello Ben,

I tried to reproduce the problem locally but as you can see from the attached movie, everything is working as expected. Could you please check the movie and let me know if I am missing something?

Hi Ben,
Can we use animation with Positioning (Left, Top etc) ? It seems like the window "animates" first and then the positioning take effect.
Thank in advance !

Hello,

Take a look into the following KB article.
Close RadWindow with Resize animation instead of Fade

Thanks,

Hi Haris,

You are correct, at present RadWindow applies the offset set  by its Left and Top properties after the animation ends. I have logged this issue into our database and we will investigate it further. But I cannot assure you that the current behavior will be modified in the future.

At present, as a work around I can suggest you to handle the ClientBeforeShow event and manually position the window according to the OpenerElement (or the element that should be set to the OffsetElementId property) without setting the OffsetElementId.

For your convenience I have attached a sample page demonstrating this approach.
