[Solved] Obtaining the radWindow client object

[Martin]

How do you obtain the radwindow object from a page using a radWindow

e.g My MainWindow.aspx has a RadWindowManager and creates Window1.aspx. However, I would like a close button in Window1.aspx. I must use the close method on the radWindow object. However, I am not sure how to obtain the radWindow object within Window1.aspx.

MainWindow.aspx

var oWnd = window.radopen("window1.aspx", "subdialog");

Window1.aspx

function closeWindow()
{
    var oWnd = ????????
    oWnd.close();
}

Thanks,
Martin

Hi Martin,

You can do this by using the GetRadWindow() function - it is used in almost every demo and is available in the documentation as well:

function GetRadWindow()
{
  var oWindow = null;
  if (window.radWindow)
     oWindow = window.radWindow;
  else if (window.frameElement.radWindow)
     oWindow = window.frameElement.radWindow;
  return oWindow;
}

Once you get a reference to the window, you can call its close() method:

function closeWin()
{
    var oWnd = GetRadWindow();
    oWnd.close();
}
