I'm using with a RadWindow control
I want to able to resize the window but that without showing the maximize/minimize buttons

Is it possible?

Thanks

Hello T.Y.,

You can achieve this by changing the ControlTemplate of the RadWindow control. The attached project demonstrates how to do this. It simply removes the minimize and maximize buttons from the ControlTemplate of the window.

I think there is an issue in the drag drop of RadWindow, it should not allow to drop the window at a position which is not visible, I mean when user drag a window in upward direction there is  no limit to it, ideally it should prevent to drag the window at Top =0. Same applies to the bottom also. Left and right are ok as but that should also be stopped at the browser boundaries.

In the above scenario it is near to impossible to recover the radwindow again if user drags it outside the visible area. May be I could not do it someone else could do it.

Thanks

Hi Rohit,

This behavior is by design as we were looking at the Windows in the Windows OS - they have no such constraints. But as you mentioned it is really hard to recover the Window if you drop it outside of the screen. Because of this we've add a couple of new properties that will allow you to customize this behavior - IsRestricted and RestrictedAreaMargin. These new properties will be added after SP1 release (next week).

Hope this time frame and approach are good enough for you.

Kind regards,

You can control and avoid windows visibility on Window LocationChanged event:

 

void w_LocationChanged(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
        RadWindow w = (RadWindow)sender;
        //Left
        if (w.Left < 0) w.Left = 0;
        //Top
        if (w.Top < 0) w.Top = 0;
        Grid root = (Grid)base.FindName("LayoutRoot");
        //Right
        if (w.Left > (root.ActualWidth - w.ActualWidth)) w.Left =  (root.ActualWidth - w.ActualWidth);
       //Bottom
       if (w.Top > (root.ActualHeight - 30)) w.Top = (root.ActualHeight - 30);
}

 

 

I think that is important solve this problem on next release.

Best regards,

The Close button does not work in the sample provided in the post above.  Anyone know how I can get the close button to actually close the window?
Tks.

Hi Brian,

 The theme in this example is very old (two years) and we changed some things. What you need to do to make the Close button working is to set the Button's Command property to telerik:WindowCommands.Close. Please note that more problems could occur if you use this outdated theme.
