Closing RadWindow and AjaxRequest problem

[Alan T]

I've looked around the forums a bit and can't find an issue that relates exactly to my scenario.

I've got a Radwindow, with 2 buttons on,

A cancel button (OnClientClick = 'CancelEdit')
and a save button (iniates postback, runs some server side code then calls the CloseAndRebind method with ClientScript.RegisterStartupScript. )

This all works, however, when i click the 'save and close button' it closes the radwindow, refereshes the control on the page below (in this case a listview) but then the radwindow reopens, and i'm not sure why.

function GetRadWindow() {
    var oWindow = null;
    if (window.radWindow) {
        oWindow = window.radWindow; //Will work in Moz in all cases, including classic dialog
    }
    else if (window.frameElement.radWindow) {
        oWindow = window.frameElement.radWindow; //IE (and Moz as well)
    }
    return oWindow;
}

function CloseAndRebind() {
    try {
        GetRadWindow().BrowserWindow.refreshAddresses();
    }
    catch (err) {
    }
    GetRadWindow().Close();
}

function CancelEdit() {
    GetRadWindow().Close();
}

Hello Alan,

Please take a look into the following thread which discussed similar issue.
Stop RadWindow from always loading on page postback.

Thanks,
Princy.

Hi Princy, had already looked at that actually. I did however try adding VisibleOnPageLoad = false , but that made no difference. Because i've never actually set that to true.

FYI, the window opens once the Ajax Request function has completed.

UPDATE: so after some further reading, i decided to set the VisibleOnPageLoad property to false on my AjaxRequest, assuming that this gets changed to true on radopen.

The RadWindow actually seems to have reopened prior to the AjaxRequest.

However, no luck.

UPDATE2:

OK it opens before the page load of the page that initially opened the window.

Just to clarify, i'm opening the window on the OnClientClick event, but i'm closing it by injecting the client side script as i need to run some server side script first.

Hi Alan,

Please examine this sticky forum thread on opening a RadWindow from the server. It uses the Sys.Application.Load event and does so only once. If you are using the RadAjaxManager's Response Scripts collection it is possible that the script you call to open the RadWindow is called after each AJAX request if you readd it, which would result in the reopening of the RadWIndow. Please try using the logic described in the forum thread instead, as the issue here stems from the way you open the RadWIndow, but you have not posted this code.

If you are still unable to resolve the issue after applying this approach I advise that you open a support ticket and send us a simple page that reproduces the issue so we can debug it and see what is happening.

Hi Marin, I have read that, and it didn't seem to make any difference.

I am not opening the RadWindow server side.

function openRequirement(requirementid) {
    if (requirementid != undefined) {
        radopen("applicant_requirement.aspx?applicant_requirement_id=" + requirementid, "rw_requirement");
    }
}

I'm simply using the 'onclick' function to call it

Private Sub rg_requirements_ItemDataBound(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As Telerik.Web.UI.GridItemEventArgs) Handles rg_requirements.ItemDataBound
    If e.Item.ItemType = GridItemType.AlternatingItem Or e.Item.ItemType = GridItemType.Item Then
        Dim datakey As DataKey = Me.rg_requirements.MasterTableView.DataKeyValues(e.Item.ItemIndex)
        TryCast(e.Item.FindControl("btn_editrequirement"), RadButton).Attributes.Add("onclick", "openRequirement('" & datakey("applicant_requirement_id") & "')")
    End If
End Sub

As suggested in the thread, i tried setting the VisibleOnLoad property of the radwindow to false on the AjaxRequest. However, the window is reopening prior to the AjaxRequest.

Here is my code to close the window (which IS from server side)

Protected Sub updateapplicant_requirementAndClose()
server side code commiting data to database
.....
ClientScript.RegisterStartupScript(Me.GetType, "closeandrebind_applicant_requirement", "CloseAndRebind();", True)
End Sub

Which is called by a RadButton 'Command'

And the Javascript it's calling:

function GetRadWindow() {
    var oWindow = null;
    if (window.radWindow) {
        oWindow = window.radWindow; //Will work in Moz in all cases, including classic dialog
    }
    else if (window.frameElement.radWindow) {
        oWindow = window.frameElement.radWindow; //IE (and Moz as well)
    }
    return oWindow;
}

function CloseAndRebind() {
    try {
        GetRadWindow().BrowserWindow.refreshRequirements();
    }
    catch (err) {
    }
    GetRadWindow().Close();
}

Thanks for you response.

Alan

OK it appears the Javascript CloseAndRebind function isn't actually being called at all.

I also tried the method of injecting hte script into a label, but no difference.

http://www.telerik.com/community/forums/aspnet-ajax/window/basic-window-question.aspx

I've been reading that which may be relevent but its a bit over my head.

My scenario is:
The radwindow opens from my content page.
The content page contains an ajaxmanager.
The contents of the radwindow page are wrapped in a radajaxpanel.

[Alan T]

Got it, i needed to add the script to the response scripts collection.

Whay!.
