newbie Kendo Window content question

[Kashim]

I have 2 questions.


Question1) Is it possible to initialize/widgetify kendo window content

eg 
var mywindow = $("<div/>").kendoWindow({
    width: "300px",
        height: "200px",
        title: "Some title",
        modal: true
});

var kendoWindow = mywindow.data("kendoWindow");
var mycombo = "<input id="comboBox"/>";
var windowcontent = kendoWindow.content(_mycombo);

//can i make mycombo into widget ...code below doesnt work gives a jquery error
$(windowcontent).kendoComboBox({
   dataTextField: "text",
   dataValueField: "value",
   dataSource: [
       { text: "Item1", value: "1" },
       { text: "Item2", value: "2"}]
});


Question2) If I have this code

var myoptions = {a:"some text", b:"more text"};
var mywindow = $("<div/>").kendoWindow({
    width: "300px",
        height: "200px",
        modal: true,
        title: myoptions.a,
content:"test.html"
});

How do i pass 'myoptions' object into test.html?  (does it have to be a global variable?)

thanks

Any ideas?

Another question - Can we pass a url parameter in with the content html eg

var mywindow = $("<div/>").kendoWindow({
     ..
content:"test.html?value=hello"
}); 

I tried this but in test.html I haven't figured out what function to use to access 'value=hello'

Ignore my question.
Older posts have already answered my question

Can you provide a link to the answers from the older posts. I have not found them.

Also, can you give me a pointer to your dynamic creation of an kendoWindow (without any HTML markup).

I naively tried this, but it is not working for me: (it says that window is not defined, which is because the kendoWindow does not return the handle to the new window, you need to get it from the DOM $("#whatever") 

function selectColumns() {

var window = $("<div/>").kendoWindow({

    width: "300px",

        height: "200px",

        title: "Some title",

        modal: true

});

window.center();

window.open();

}

Sure the links that helped me were

and

As for your code, you need to do add this
..
var window1 = window.data("kendoWindow");
window1.center();
window1.open();

or 
window.data("kendoWindow").center();
window.data("kendoWindow").open();

Quick tip folks: you can chain your function calls when opening the kendoWindow.

So this...

1.// example 1
2.var widget = $("#my-selector").data("kendoWindow");
3.widget.center();
4.widget.open();
5.
6.// example 2
7.$("#my-selector").data("kendoWindow").center();
8.$("#my-selector").data("kendoWindow").open();

...becomes this...

1.// example 1
2.var widget = $("#my-selector").data("kendoWindow");
3.widget.center().open();
4.
5.// example 2
6.$("#my-selector").data("kendoWindow")
7.    .center()
8.    .open();
