Client-side Dialog Close

[Matt Thrower]

Hi,

In the old version of RadEditor I was able to close open dialogs in Javascript with the command CloseDlg(). However, that code is no longer working and I can't find an equivalent in the documentation of the Ajax version. Can you point me in the right direction?

Cheers,
Matt

I believe

Telerik.Web.UI.Dialogs.CommonDialogScript.get_windowReference().close(args);

will work for you.

Hi guys,

You can use

getRadWindow().close(closeArgument); //use the close function of the getRadWindow to close the dialog and pass the arguments from the dialog to the callback function on the main page.

This information is available in the following help article: Add Custom Dialogs.

Hi,

Thanks for the suggestions. Unfortunately, using getRadWindow().close(args) yields an 'object expected' Javascript error and using Telerik.Web.UI ...getRadWindow yields a 'Telerik is undefined' Javascript error.

Cheers,

Hi Matt,

You should register the following javascript code needed for the RadWindow dialog initialization in the dialog file:

<script type="text/javascript">
function getRadWindow() //mandatory for the RadWindow dialogs functionality
{
   if (window.radWindow)
{
 return window.radWindow;
}
if (window.frameElement && window.frameElement.radWindow)
{
 return window.frameElement.radWindow;
}
return null;
}

function initDialog() //called when the dialog is initialized
{
   var clientParameters = getRadWindow().ClientParameters; //return the arguments supplied from the parent page
}
if (window.attachEvent)
{
   window.attachEvent("onload", initDialog);
}
else if (window.addEventListener)
{
   window.addEventListener("load", initDialog, false);
}
...

After that you will be able to use:

getRadWindow().close(closeArgument);


You can see how the following live examples works for example: Make Images From Text (the code of the dialog is available in the RadEditor demo installation folder) or download the following project: http://www.telerik.com/ClientsFiles/089510_showExternalDialog.zip.

Hi,

Inserting that script works for the places where I'm closing the dialog with null return value. However, in once instance I'm closing the dialog with a return value of some text, including HTML markup. This causes the following alert boxes to pop up in sequence:
Error while executing filter StripScriptsFilter - [object Error]
Error while executing filter EncodeScriptsFilter - [object Error]
Error while executing filter IEKeepObjectParamsFilter - [object Error]
Error while executing filter IEKeepCommentsFilter - [object Error]

Followed by a breaking Javascript error in the following function:
_encodeHtmlContent:function(_58,_59)

Any ideas as to what might be behind this?

Cheers,
Matt

Hi Matt,

Could you please, send us a sample working example and content which demonstrate the problem? Once we reproduce the problem, we will be able to see whether the problem is due to a non-well-formed HTML content or not.

Hi,
I am also getting the same errors when closing the RadWindow.

 

I have this on the popup page.

On code behind I have

{ 

 

//Close this window  

 

 

this.Page.ClientScript.RegisterClientScriptBlock(this.GetType(), "CloseWindow", "CloseRadWindow();", true);  

}

And at the time of closing this popup, I do not need to pass any parameters to the parent page which opened this popup window. I just need to close it.

Can you please help me in this matter?

Thank you.
Sarika

Hello Sarika,

I have just answered your question in your support ticket on the same subject. In general, the idea is to use ScriptManager's RegisterStartupScript() method.
