[Solved] MVC Window - Escape Key

[Travis]

Is there a built-in property for the Window that will close it when you press the escape key. I know I could do it easily with jQuery but it'd be nicer if there was just a configuration I could set in the control itself.

Does it really take more than 4 days to answer a question around here?

Hi Travis,

 No, there is no built-in property which allows this. You can however easily hook up the keyup event of the window and use its close method in order to implement this requirement.

 On a side note Telerik does not guarantee replies to forum posts for Telerik Extensions for ASP.NET MVC. You can check here what the support options are.

All the best,
