Multiple RadWindows and Skins

[Alu Bonamis]

//this is how it is invoked in my javascript function
var radWindowManager= GetRadWindowManager();
        var radWindow=radWindowManager.GetWindowByName("RadWindow1");
        radWindow.SetUrl(url);
        radWindow.Show();

Hi,
I have a scenario whereby i have multiple radwindowmanager instances on a single page. This is for the sole purpose that  both of the windows that are launched should use seperate skins.

 

<rad:RadWindowManager ID="BudgetsWindowManager" runat="server" Skin="Halcrow" SkinsPath="/RadControls/Window/Skins/" Behavior="Reload,Close,ReSize">

<Windows>

<rad:RadWindow ID="RadWindowPackageUpdate" Modal="true"

ShowContentDuringLoad="true" runat="server" Width="900" Height="570" Skin="Halcrow" SkinsPath="/RadControls/Window/Skins/" Behavior="Reload,Close,ReSize"/>

<rad:RadWindow ID="RadWindow1" runat="server" Skin="HalcrowHelp" VisibleTitlebar="false" VisibleStatusbar="false" Behavior="None" Modal="true" SkinsPath="/RadControls/Window/Skins/" />

</Windows>

</rad:RadWindowManager>


<rad:RadWindowManager ID="RadWindowManager1" runat="server" Skin="HalcrowHelp" VisibleTitlebar="false" VisibleStatusbar="false" Behavior="None" Modal="true" SkinsPath="/RadControls/Window/Skins/">


</rad:RadWindowManager>

However when i try to launch a window usin RadWIndowManager1 , it appears that due to multiple instances of RadWIndowManager on the page, it appears to use the skin settins provided for "Halcrow" mentioned in "BudgetsWindowManager" rather than the "HalcrowHelp" provided in the RadWindowManager1. I have tried mergin the Window Managers togather, however setting the skin on the rad window appears to have no effect and the WindowManager Skin always seems to take preference. Is there anyway i can use multiple instances of RadWindowManager to selct he appropriae SKin? I have tried various things to get around this issue including the one below

 <rad:RadWindowManager ID="BudgetsWindowManager" runat="server" Skin="HalcrowHelp" SkinsPath="/RadControls/Window/Skins/" Behavior="Reload,Close,ReSize">
                                                <Windows>
                                                    <rad:RadWindow ID="RadWindowPackageUpdate" Modal="true"
                                                    ShowContentDuringLoad="true" runat="server" Width="900" Height="570" Skin="Halcrow" SkinsPath="/RadControls/Window/Skins/" Behavior="Reload,Close,ReSize"/>
                                                    <rad:RadWindow ID="RadWindow1" runat="server"  Skin="HalcrowHelp" VisibleTitlebar="false" VisibleStatusbar="false" Behavior="None" Modal="true" SkinsPath="/RadControls/Window/Skins/" />
                                                </Windows>
                                            </rad:RadWindowManager>

 
but to no avail. Can ayone help please?

 

Thanks

Hello Alu,

GetRadWindowManager, radopen, radconfirm etc. functions of RadWindowManager will automatically use the first RadWindowManager that is rendered on the page - that is why your code is not working correctly.

What I suggest in scenario like yours is not to use RadWindowManager - use standalone RadWindows instead and open them by using show().
e.g.
var oWnd = $find("<%= RadWindow1.ClientID %>")
oWnd.show();
