Is there a way to determine the parent radwindow of a rad button contained in a contenttemplate in client-side javascript?

e.g. if I have two radwindows, each with a radbutton, and each radbutton calls a common OnClientClicking event, is there a way to determine the parent window from the button object in the common code?

<telerik:radWindow runat="server" ID="radwindow1">

<contenttemplate>

<telerik:radbutton id="radbutton1" runat="server" onclientclicking="CommonFunction" />

</contenttemplate>

</telerik:radwindow>

<telerik:radWindow runat="server" ID="radwindow2">

<contenttemplate>

<telerik:radbutton id="radbutton2" runat="server" onclientclicking="CommonFunction" />

</contenttemplate>

</telerik:radwindow>

<script>

function CommonFunction(button, eventArgs) {

var radWindow = ...how to determine which radwindow from the button element? ...

}

</script>

Hi Michael,

There are several ways to getr access to a parent RadWindow, I will list them below so you can choose th eone that its your scenario the best:

You can pass custom arguments (e.g. the id of the parent window) to the button's click handler like demonstrated here

You can get the Id of the window through the closest parent of the button, having class ".RadWindow"

                var parentId = button.get_element().closest(".RadWindow").id;
                var radWindow = $find(parentId.substring(parentId.indexOf("_") + 1))

You can keep the id of the window in the button's value field and access it after that

<telerik:RadButton ID="radbutton1" runat="server" OnClientClicking="CommonFunction" Value="radwindow1" />

var radWindow_2 = $find(button.get_value());

You can place the windows into a Radwindowmanager and use its "get"
```
var radWindow = GetRadWindowManager().getActiveWindow();
```
