[Solved] Best way to detect page is in a radWindow

[Randy]

I'm looking for a javascript logic that I can use to detect if the page is in a RadWindow or not.  The main reason is that I need to call the radWindow.close() when inside a RadWindow or self.close() when in just a regular browser window.  How best to handle this?

Also,  keep in mind that the parent page that launched the window may not have any Telerik content.  We have an application that has two modes:   Normal (with Telerik Controls) and 508 (which does not have any Telerik controls).

Hello Randy,

I would suggest to use the GetRadWindow() function:

function GetRadWindow()
{
  var oWindow = null;
  if (window.radWindow)
     oWindow = window.radWindow;
  else if (window.frameElement.radWindow)
     oWindow = window.frameElement.radWindow;
  return oWindow;
}

The only problem with the standard code is that is never returns from the GetRadWindow Function as currently stated, however a minor rewrite works in both normal and radwindows.

function GetRadWindow()
{
var radWin = null;
if (window.radWindow)
radWin = window.radWindow;
else if (window.frameElement != null && window.frameElement.radWindow)
radWin = window.frameElement.radWindow;
return radWin
}

The problem is caused because the frameElement is not defined in a normal page.
