Hi Kevin,

If the second RadWindow is opened in the first one, this is not possible - RadWindow exists only in the context of the page from which it is called.
If the second RadWindow is opened on the parent page as well (like in this demo), you only need to call first window's close() method after you have opened the second RadWindow.
e.g. (using the code from the demo)

function openWin2()
{
    var parentPage = GetRadWindow().BrowserWindow;
    var parentRadWindowManager = parentPage.GetRadWindowManager();
    var oWnd2 = parentRadWindowManager.open("Dialog2.aspx","RadWindow2");
    //new
    GetRadWindow().close();
}

All the best,

Hi,

I guess you are following the documentation " Opening a RadWindow from Within a RadWindow " in order to open the new radwindow. I tried following client code for closing the first window on opening the second window. Here I attached OnClientLoad() event to second RadWindow in order to close the first one. Give a try with following code.

ASPX in parent page:

<telerik:RadWindowManager ID="RadWindowManager1" runat="server">
<Windows>
    <telerik:RadWindow runat="server" ID="RadWindow1" ></telerik:RadWindow>
    <telerik:RadWindow runat="server" ID="RadWindow2"  OnClientShow="OnClientShow"></telerik:RadWindow>
</Windows>
</telerik:RadWindowManager>

JavaScript:

<script type="text/javascript">
function openWin()
{
    var oWnd = $find("<%=RadWindow1.ClientID%>");
    oWnd.setUrl('Window1.aspx');
    oWnd.show();
}
function OnClientShow()
{
    var oWnd = $find("<%=RadWindow1.ClientID%>");
    oWnd.close();
}
</script>

Shinu.
