If I set a MinimizeZoneID for a RadWindow, it reloads the window on minimization and restoring in Firefox. In IE, it works correctly. If I do not use a MinimizeZoneID, the minimize function works as expected.
I use RadWindowManager to set all of the window properties and use the client RadWindowManager open function to create windows on demand.
This is with the 2008.1.515.20 version of the dll and FF version 3.0.4.
Is there a function I can hook to disable the page load on minimize for firefox since I would prefer to have windows minimize to a specific area of the website?
I can include a sample project that demonstrates this behavior if necessary.

Hi Matt,
This is a bug in Firefox only. Unfortunately there is no workaround for this issue yet but we are investgating the possibilities for finding such.

Thanks for getting back to me so quickly. For now, I will check the browser on the load and only add the minimize zone to the window manager if the browser is IE.
If you find a solution that allows me to be able to use minimize zones with Firefox as well, can you let me know?

Matt

Hello Matt,
In fact this is a Mozilla problem that has been around for quite some time and we have not been able to find a workaround for it (worse yet, the Mozilla team has not fixed the problem in the newer FF versions).
The problem is essentially as such: when an IFRAME element is moved in the DOM, the browser automatically refreshes its src and there is no way to prevent this from happening.
In the case of RadWindow and minimization zone, the problem is manifested, because the window is a child of the page BODY element, then it is moved inside a minimization zone, then it is restored back. In both of these cases there is DOM movement, and the window's content area (and IFRAME) is refreshed by the browser.
If we discover a workaround we will certainly integrate in in the RadWindow control.
Best regards,

Is there ay update on whether the latest Firefox release or Rad Controls release addresses this issue?

Hello Albert,
There is still no fix for this issue from Firefox. We are currently considering to make some changes in our code as we have some ideas about how to work around this issue, but they are still in test phase.
We are also planning to add a new demo for the Q1 2010 release that would show how you could use RadWindow in a desktop-like mode (e.g. mimicking MS Window's desktop experience). It will use RadTabStrip instead of MinimizeZone, similar to the First Look demo, but the new example will allow you to have multiple simultaneously opened RadWindows on the page.
All the best,
