Auto-sizing window height

[Chad Strawinski]

I'm looking for a way to only auto-size the height of a window (I need a fixed width) to its contents. The windows are created in Page_Init() and the content comes from a database which is also loaded in Page_Init(). The auto-sizing seems to be acting a little strange - the height of the window is too large and the values I set for the top and left properties seem to get ignored. It looks like the width is sizing to the image width... which is what you would expect, but I want to use a fixed width anyway. Enabling autosize seems to ignore any width values explicitly set. Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Chad

Setting the width in my content explicitly using CSS seemed to work around the sizing issue. If I explicitly set the width of the content, it auto-sizes to that width, but I still have the problem with my values for the top and left properties having no effect. It appears to automatically center in the browser window. I use the OffsetElementID property as well to position the windows relative to another control, if that helps. The windows I have that do not have auto-size enabled are positioned like I expect them to be, just the autosized one is not.

thanks

Hi Chad,

The current implementation of the AutoSize functionality sizes the window both in width and height and at this point we don't consider changing it. In scenario like yours we would suggest to use the client-side API (setSize()) to size the RadWindow to the desired dimensions once your page is loaded.

Georgi,

Thanks for your reply. What about the auto-centering that appears to be happening with auto-sizing?

Thanks,

Hi Chad,

RadWindow is not centered when AutoSize is fired -  actually the control size itself proportionally, though depending on your exact page's setup, it may look like center() is called.
