[Solved] Big Window outside a Small Window

[Erwin]

I have a parent page that opens a modal small window.  In the modal small window i have a search button where user can search.  I want to pop up another window for the search.  The problem is the search pop up window is inside the small modal window.  I want it out like in this demo:

http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-ajax/window/examples/dialogreturnvalue/defaultcs.aspx

but i want the window to be modal.

also i would like to see how the second window "The Eruption" showed the other window.

Hello Erwin,

I believe that the following KB article will be of help:
http://www.telerik.com/support/kb/aspnet-ajax/window/opening-a-radwindow-from-within-radwindow.aspx

The approach used in the demo that you've seen is basically the same - you can examine the code in the "Example & Source Code" section of the same page.

Hi again Erwin,

Check the returnValue() function in Dialog2.aspx - it shows how to do that.

function returnValue()
{
    //get the RadComboBox's selected item's text
    var combo = $find("<%= RadComboBox1.ClientID %>");
    var selectedCapital = combo.get_text();

    //Get a reference to the parent page (Default.aspx)
    var oWnd = GetRadWindow();

    //get a reference to the second RadWindow
    var dialog1 = oWnd.get_windowManager().getWindowByName("RadWindow1");

    // Get a reference to the first RadWindow's content
    var contentWin = dialog1.get_contentFrame().contentWindow

    //Call the predefined function in Dialog1
    contentWin.populateCityName(selectedCapital);

    //Close the second RadWindow
    oWnd.close();
}

Best wishes,

Thanks for the reply but...
I can't seem to run this code since thier are functions and names that are not clear like the 

GetRadWindow(); 
RadWindow1

can you clarify these items

or can you show me how this function works...

[Erwin]

can u show me a working sample that used that function like the demo

[Erwin]

Sorry i miss look the code in the demo..

i figured out that the demo was using Radwindowmanager and the Zip file from the 

http://www.telerik.com/support/kb/aspnet-ajax/window/opening-a-radwindow-from-within-radwindow.aspx

was not.

It was the only thing missing......

but can I still run it if I will not use Radwindowmanager??

can i change this part??

   var dialog1 = oWnd.get_windowManager().getWindowByName("RadWindow1");

Hi Erwin,

If you are not using RadWindowManager, I assume that the second RadWindow is also declared on the parent page. In this case the easiest approach would be to:

1. Create a function on the parent page that, when called, will return the needed RadWindow's object.
2. Call this function from the content page in order to get the corresponding RadWindow.

e.g. in the parent page:

function findWin2()
{
    var oWin = $find("<%= RadWindowExt.ClientID %>");
    return oWin;
}

and in the content page:

function openChildWindow()
{
    //get the parent browser's window
    var browserWin = GetRadWindow().BrowserWindow;
    //call the corresponding function to get a reference to the RadWindow
    var oWnd = browserWin.findWin2();
    //show the window
    oWnd.show();
}

I hope this helps.
