Launch Window from within Window, and set new Window to be active?

[Peter]

Is it possible to guarantee that when you launch a window from within a window, that the new window be set to be the active window?

After doing some forum reading, it seems that all I should need to do is include the following code to make the new window active -

setTimeout(function() { attach.setActive(true); }, 0);

But this doesn't seem to work properly for me. The odd thing is, it sometimes works, sometimes doesn't. It seems to have a 50% chance of actually becoming the active window.

Here is my code for launch the window from within a window, and attempting to make it active -

function LaunchAttachments() {
        var section = document.getElementById("<%= hfAttachmentsSectionCode.ClientID %>").value;
        var parent = GetRadWindow().BrowserWindow;
        var attach = parent.radopen("Attachments.aspx?client=-1&section=" + section, "NewWindow");
        attach.set_width(800);
        attach.set_height(400);
        attach.center();
        salesRequest.set_status("");
        attach.set_title("Attachments");
        setTimeout(function() { attach.setActive(true); }, 0);
        GetRadWindow().setActive(false);
    }

Hi Peter,

The code that you posted seems OK - try increasing the timeout and see how your app will behave. Also there is no need to explicitly setActive(false) for the current RadWindow.

If you still experience problems after that, it will be best to open a support ticket and send us a sample project that reproduces the issue - we will check it right away.

I tried increasing the timeout value to 10, 100, 1000 and 10000 and this still didn't work. I might have to prepare a sample of my code and send it in via a support ticket. Thanks.

OK Peter,

Once I receive the ticket I will check it and get back to you as soon as possible.

Hmmm, I may not need to submit that ticket afterall. I have now changed how I launch the windows, slightly, and it seems to be working. Rather than using the above code, I am now defining the window within a RadWindowManager on my Masterpage, and launching it via

function LaunchAttachments() {
  var parent = GetRadWindow().BrowserWindow;
  var attach = parent.radopen("Attachments.aspx", "rwAttachmentsMaster");
  setTimeout(function() { attach.setActive(true); }, 100);
}

And this seems to now always bring the new window to the front.

Hi ,
I also encountered this problem but in my case have some different.
I pre-defined windows in windowmanager as below

<telerik:RadWindowManager ID="RadWindowManager1" runat="server"  Skin="Vista"
        Behavior="Default" InitialBehavior="None" Left=""
        style="display: none;z-index: 7001" Top="" DestroyOnClose="True"
        ShowContentDuringLoad="False" >
        <Windows>
        <telerik:RadWindow
            ID="RadWinItemDetail"
            ShowContentDuringLoad="false"
            VisibleStatusbar="false"
            VisibleTitlebar="false"
            RestrictionZoneID="RestrictionZone"
            Width="985px" Height="1250px" Behaviors="None"
            style="z-index: 7000"
            runat="server" OffsetElementId = "RestrictionZone"
            DestroyOnClose="True">
        </telerik:RadWindow>
        <telerik:RadWindow
            ID="winSearchWithin"
            runat="server"
            Width="800px"
            Height="600px"
            OffsetElementId = "pvItemDetail"
            Behavior="Close"
            onclientclose="GetPickupAddress"
            NavigateUrl="" Modal="True"  DestroyOnClose="True"
            VisibleTitlebar="True" ReloadOnShow="True">
        </telerik:RadWindow>
        <telerik:RadWindow
            ID="winSearch"
            runat="server"
            Width="800px"
            Height="600px"
            Behavior="Close"
            onclientclose="OnSearchWindowClose"
            NavigateUrl="" Modal="True"  DestroyOnClose="True"
            VisibleTitlebar="True" ReloadOnShow="True">
        </telerik:RadWindow>
        <telerik:RadWindow
            ID="winContactor"
            runat="server"
            Width="600px"
            Height="350px"
            Behavior="Close"
            NavigateUrl="" Modal="True" DestroyOnClose="True"
            VisibleTitlebar="True" ReloadOnShow="True">
        </telerik:RadWindow>
        <telerik:RadWindow
            ID="winPromptWindow"
            runat="server"
            Width="600px"
            Height="350px"
            Behavior="Close"
            NavigateUrl="" Modal="True" DestroyOnClose="True"
            VisibleTitlebar="True" ReloadOnShow="True">
        </telerik:RadWindow>
        </Windows>
    </telerik:RadWindowManager>

I align the RadWinItemDetail window on RadMultiPage and open another window within RadWinItemDetail like underneath code snippets. due to I have a few pageview on the main page, I need to open it and set it be hidden first.
 

var oWin = radopen("ItemDetail.aspx", "RadWinItemDetail");
        oWin.setUrl('ItemDetail.aspx');
        oWin.ShowContentDuringLoad = false;
        oWin.set_width('980px');
        oWin.argument = oArg;
        oWin.hide();

and then open another window within RadWinItemDetail , I would like the window 'winSearchWithin' always in the front. therefore, I set the winSearchWithin window's property Modal="True"  ,here is the code snippets:

function openSubWinForSearchPickup(oArg) {
            //        var targetPage="simpleSearch.aspx"
            switch (oArg.strType) {
                case "PICKUP":
                    var targetPage = "pkaddressSearch.aspx"; break;
                default:
                    return false;
            }
            //        random seed to avoid page cashe.
            var rendomPara = Math.round(Math.random() * 10000000000000000)
            targetPage += "?actionnumb=" + rendomPara
            switch (oArg.strType) {
                case "PICKUP":
                    targetPage += "&CustCode="
                    targetPage += encodeURIComponent(oArg.strSearchCode);
                    break;
                default:
            }
            // use the current RadWindow to get a reference to the parent page, and use it to call radopen:
            var oBrowserWnd = GetRadWindow().BrowserWindow;
            var oWin = oBrowserWnd.radopen(targetPage, "winSearchWithin");
            //need to use setTimeout function to bring the new window to the front.
            setTimeout(function() {
                oWin.set_modal(true);
                oWin.set_width('800px');
                oWin.set_height('600px');
                oWin.center();
                oWin.argument = oArg;
                oWin.setActive(true);
            }, 1000);
        }

It does working in the first time opening , I have no idea how to fix it. Please help, thanks in advance.

Hi,
I fixed these problem in my project. sorry to bother you.
I found that within window need to set_behaviors in client side instead of pre-define in WindowManager.

oWin.set_behaviors(4);

and if also need to set the onclientclose method in contentwindow to return some thing.

oWindow.add_close(yourMethodName);
