[Solved] Get error when open rad window from another rad window

[NeilNguyen]

I have a rad window (form2) opened from a main form (form1). From form2, I launch a normal dialog (form3) without using telerik control. In form3 I added a link to popup rad window, unfortunately i got error:

"Object doesnt support this property or method"

Here's my asp code in form3:

form3.aspx

<asp:LinkButton ID="lkbContact" Text="click here" runat="server" OnClientClick="OpenContactWindow(); return true;" />

function OpenContactWindow()
{ 
    //Error occured in this line
    var oWnd = window.radopen("AddNewContact.aspx", "addNewContactWindow");
}

form2.asp:
And my code in form2.aspx
        <radW:RadWindowManager
            id="radWindowManager"
            runat="server"                
            >
            <windows>
                <radW:RadWindow ID="addNewContactWindow"                                             
                    Runat="server"
                    Modal="true"
                    ReloadOnShow="True"
                    Width="580px"
                    Height="410px"
                    >
                </radW:RadWindow>
               
            </windows>                       
        </radW:RadWindowManager>         



Could anyone here tell me why i got this error?

thanks

Hi Neil,

In general, if you want to use radopen() on some page, you must have the RadWindowManager declared there as well - otherwise the function will not work.

I am not sure what exactly you want to achieve - can you please elaborate some more on that? Do you want the RadWindow to be opened in the context of the topmost page or you want it to be in form3? If you want to open it in the context of form3, you will have to put a RadWindowManager on that page and then to call radopen(). Note that in this case the RadWindow will be restricted to that page only (form3).

If you want to open the RadWindow in the context of the topmost page (where I believe your RadWindowManager is), try using
top.radopen("AddNewContact.aspx", "addNewContactWindow")
This way you will refer the topmost page and since there you have a RadWindowManager, it will open a new  RadWindow.
