[Solved] Can't set window to active

[Loy Chan]

I have a webpage with a RadGrid which uses a modal RadWindow (let's call it Window1) as the details edit page. On that edit page, there's a button that will popup another modal RadWindow (let's call it Window2) to populate an item on Window1.

The problem is that Window2 appears behind Window 1 and I have to click on Window2 to bring it to the foreground.

I tried to set Window2 to active prior to calling show() but that had no effect. As well, I thought that since Window2 was modal, I would not be able to select Window1 (which is what I wanted). But since Window1 is also modal, I wasn't sure what to expect.

My setup has both Window1 and Window2 defined on the page with the RadGrid. Window2 is invoked with the following code:

    var oManager = GetRadWindow().get_WindowManager();

    var oWnd = oManager.GetWindowByName('Window2');
    oWnd.setUrl('Common/EmployeePicker.aspx?employeeType=Manager');
    oWnd.setActive(true);
    oWnd.show();

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Hello Loy Chan,

I am not quite sure about your exact setup but I suggest to try the following:

1. call the setActive() method after showing the RadWindow
2. if this doesn't help, call it with a small timeout and see if this helps.

If you still experience problems, it will be best to send us a sample project in a support ticket (you cannot attach files in the forum) and we will check it right away.
