Best Control for Popup

[Geoff Ballard]

Hi,

I need some advice on the best Telerik control to use.

I need a popup control that appears like a window that can appear dynamically and contain other server side controls.  I thought the RadWindow control would work but it doesn't seem happy containing other asp controls.  The other restriction is we have to use the telerik:RadScriptManager not the telerik:RadAjaxManager.

Any advice?

Thanks,

[Sebastian]

Hi Geoff,

There should be no problem hosting other asp server controls in RadWindow in case you place them inside its ContentTemplate as illustrated on this example. You can also use RadScriptManager and RadAjaxManager at your disposal.

Hello Geoff,


I am using RadWindow for pop-up window even from showing it from code behind. I am not sure about what difficulty that you are facing if use RadWindow for the purpose.


By using RadWindow you can either show a page or use it as container control. When using as a container, the controls in the window is rendered on same page where the RadWindow is declared.

Could you provide some more information about the requirement, if this does not help?

Thanks to both of you.

I followed those examples and they work exactly as I need.

I wonder if the problem before was that I was using several RadWindows inside a telerik:RadWindowManager control?
