Close RadWindow From Server?

[David Nowak]

I have some code that executes in the code-behind of the RadWindow.  I would like to close the window just as soon as that particular server code is finished.  Is there a way to do this?

Thank You,

David Nowak.

I found it!

Create a label on the form having no text so that it is invisible.  In the code-behind set the text property of the label to the following string to execute a function that will cause the form to close:

InjectScript.Text =

"<script>CloseFormFromServer()</" + "script>";

Ensure that a function exists having the same name as that injected into the label, and Voila we have server-side code executing with a javascript function occurring on demand!

I'm trying to open a window in the same fashion but if the control that triggers the sever side event which injects the script is ajaxified then the client side script never gets executed. If I remove ajax from the triggering control it works. I tried updating the label control from the ajaxified trigger control and it still didn't work. Can anyone confirm that this method works with an ajaxified control as the trigger and without posting the entire page back? I'm interested in a radgrid itemcommand event that injects script to open a window.

Hello Sean,

I don't know how exactly you ajaxify your code, but I would suggest to make sure that the script in the function is executed - for example you can replace the code with a simple alert.

Please note that this issue is not directly related to the RadWindow control, but it is a general task - e.g. to execute a Javascript function called from the server. Depending on your setup, there are different approaches. For example you can check the following KB article that shows how to call radalert() from the server - I believe the code samples there will be of help:

I'm doing this within a radAjaxPanel and it won't close...

 

 

function GetRadWindow() {

 

 

var oWindow = null;

 

 

if (window.radWindow)

 

oWindow = window.RadWindow;

//Will work in Moz in all cases, including clasic dialog

 

 

 

 

else if (window.frameElement.radWindow)

 

oWindow = window.frameElement.radWindow;

//IE (and Moz as well)

 

 

 

 

return oWindow;

 

}

 

function CloseWindow() {

 

GetRadWindow().Close();

}


I use the following label: <asp:Literal ID="litCloseWindow" runat="server" />

 

 

Here is the text I give it: litCloseWindow.Text = "<script language='javascript'>alert('test');CloseWindow();</" + "script>"

I see that the Javascript is outputting but the client never executes it....

Hello Edward,

I tried the scenario and its working fine on my end. Can you try alternate option for calling client side function from code behind and see whether its working as expected.

CS:

protected void Button3_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    Page.ClientScript.RegisterStartupScript(GetType(), "key", "<script type='text/javascript'>CloseWindow();</script>", false);
}

If you are using the classic ASP.NET version of RadControls, then please make sure that you set the EnableOutsideScripts property of RadAjaxPanel to True, and try the code snippet given above for clossing the window.

Thanks,
Shinu.
