ExportToExcel not working in window.ShowModalDialog

[David]

I am opening up an .aspx page with a radgrid on it. I click a button and it runs the 4 lines of code below.

 

rgExportSummary.ExportSettings.IgnorePaging = True
rgExportSummary.ExportSettings.Excel.Format = DirectCast([Enum].Parse(GetType(GridExcelExportFormat), "ExcelML"), GridExcelExportFormat)
rgExportSummary.ExportSettings.ExportOnlyData = True
rgExportSummary.ExportSettings.OpenInNewWindow = True
rgExportSummary.MasterTableView.ExportToExcel()

 

When I use the window.open javascript to open this aspx page and then click the button to run the above code, I get the export for the grid.

When I use the window.ShowModalDialog javascript to open the aspx page and then click the button to run the above code, I do not get any export or response.

 What am I doing wrong or missing?

Hello,

I'm afraid that this is browser behavior and we can not control it. We recommend you use RadWindow instead of JS modal window dialog.
