Hooking Window.Close & Redirecting Page Behind

[James Simm]

Hi there,
The page I'm currently building loads a Prometheus Window with content from an external domain, on which there is a button (over which I have no control) which calls window.close when clicked.

I realise this doesn't close the Prometheus Window, but is there any way to hook the window.close event, and make it call the necessary commands to close the window.

Also, is there a way to detect the window closing event, as I need to redirect the page once this window is closed.

Thanks very much for any information!

Update: ignore the bit about redirecting the page behind. I've got around that problem.

However, if anyone has a useful way to hook the window.close call to close the radwindow, please reply!

Thanks in advance,
James Simm

Hi James,

If the page is on a different site, the browser's security engine will not allow you to capture commands called from there - e.g. you will not be able to detect from your page that window.close() is called in the other page.

If you have access to that external page and you can modify the code for that button I can give you a code that will check if the page is opened in a RadWindow or in a standard browser's popup and call specific commands depending on that condition- e.g. window.close() or GetRadWindow.Close. Then you can hook to the OnClientClose event of the RadWindow and do the redirection there.
