I've downloaded and installed the latest SP and am pleased that you can now open a modal window from a modal window, however, is there any property or method to allow us to specify the z-index or parent window?
The issue I'm seeing is;
- Modal Window 1 opens, overlay is applied.
- Modal Window 1 opens Modal Window 2, overlay appears to be applied (there's a flash on the screen)
- The window behind modal window 2 is still interactive and doesn't have an overaly on it. (making window 2 not modal)
I'm assuming this has something to do with the modal overlay being applied at one z-index, the windows being put on another.

Hello Terry,
All the best,

In order to achieve your goal you can use HtmlAttributes method of the parent window and set required z-index.
Other option is to wire onLoad event of the child window and set bigger z-index. Please note that if both windows are modal they use one overlay div. Hence when open second window you will need to change z-index of the overlay too.

I think this should be accounted for in the telerik Open javascript, you could check for other t-window and if they are visible reduce their z-index.
I also do not think it is sensible for Telerik to default window z-index 2147483649. This makes it very awkward to show subsequent popups, perhaps you could reveal this as a c# api property (not just attributes which gets overwritten)

Hi Tom,
This is an old thread and now the issue with multiple Windows has been addressed. Currently if you open a Window, it will be displayed on top of all others. Also, if you click on a Window's titlebar, it will pop on top of all others. The modal background has its z-index changed accordingly, so that only one Window is above it.
