[Solved] Non Modal child radwindow inside parent radwindow

[Raka]

Hi

We have a RadWindow with few controls in it.  On a ButtonClientClick event we want to (in Javascript) open a child window that is
1) a radWindow
2) is non-modal to allow focus on parent window whild child window is visible and is on top
3) allow the child window to be dragged outside the parent window.

I can only achieve either 1) and 2) OR  3) but not all.
====================================================================================================

w = window.showModelessDialog(

 

url, "NewWindow", "status:true; dialogWidth: 380px; dialogHeight: 200px;", '');
-- gives me a non-modal window but cannot be dragged outside the parent window.

 

====================================================================================================

====================================================================================================

w = GetRadWindow().BrowserWindow.radopen(url, "NewWindow");
-- creates a non-RadWindow which is modal but can be dragged outside the parent.

How do I create a child window that has all 3 properties?

Thanks
Raka

Hi Raka,

The following help article explains how to open such a RadWindow: http://www.telerik.com/help/aspnet-ajax/window-programming-opening-from-within-dialog.html. The radopen() function returns a reference to the newly opened popup, as explained here: http://www.telerik.com/help/aspnet-ajax/window-programming-opening.html so you can use the control's client-side API (http://www.telerik.com/help/aspnet-ajax/window-programming-radwindow-methods.html) to modify it, in this case - set_modal(false). The modality is most likely inherited from the RadWindowManager on the main page. You can either toggle it with JavaScript for this concrete instance, or remove the Modal="true" setting from that manager if you do not need it. Note that it may change the behavior of the rest of that page.


All the best,
