Multiple rad windows call to browser window

[Joshua]

I have a page that internally opens up a rad window.  On that rad window, it opens up a smaller rad window (to enter some options).  So Main Window opens Rad Window1 which opens Rad Window2.  When Rad Window2 times out, or encounters an error, I try and make a call to a javascript function on Main Window.  I thought I could do this using GetRadWindow.BrowserWindow.BrowserWindow.JSCall(), however, that is throwing the same error that GetRadWindow.BrowserWindow.JSCall() is throwing (JSCall is undefined).  Is there a way to make this call back to the Main Window from the second Rad Window opened?

Thanks,

Josh

Hi Joshua,

This depends on the way you use RadWindow. If you only put server controls in its Content template then the RadWindow is a part of the main page and you can directly reference the functions.

You would need the method with BrowserWindow in case you load an external page and then the RadWindow's content is actually an iframe.

Then it also matters where you have defined the RadWnidows - in the main page or the second is defined in  the first. If it is in the main page using the GetRadWindow.BrowserWindow once is enough. If it is defined in the second you would first have to get a reference to the parent RadWindow and then use the BrowserWindow method.

For your convenience I have attached a simple page illustrating the approach in the heaviest case - with two nested RadWindows with external content. You can find the video from my test here:  http://screencast.com/t/QMiYiWTkrgr.
