Hi,

We're building a chat application wherein we need to open and dock a user control which accepts parameters (such as session ID) within a javascript and web methods (this is supposedly a chat window, but the docking functionality is not supported in RadWindow, so we're thinking of docking a user control instead. But if there could be an update that the window can be docked, much better.) for every click of a "chat buddy". Is there any way we could do that? I've been looking for solutions to this problem for the past week and it seems that this issue has not yet been addressed.

An immediate reply is greatly appreciated. :)

Thanks,

Lisette

Hello Lisette,

I am not sure what is your exact scenario, but a combination of RadXmlHttpPanel and RadDock might be the answer to your question. The XmlHttpPanel can contact a WebService to update its content and the update process is initiated by a call to the XmlHttpPanel.set_value() client-side method. Please take a look at the XmlHttpPanel's online demos to familiarize yourself with the control's functionality: http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-ajax/xmlhttppanel/examples/overview/defaultcs.aspx.

Additionally the following resources will be of help:

• RadDock online documentation
• RadXmlHttpPanel online documentation

In case you still don't know how to implement the scenario, please provide more detailed information (a sample project would be great) and we will point you in the right direction.

Kind regards,
Pero
