[Solved] Open a new page in radwindow

[Henry]

Hello guys

There is a radbutton inside the content template of the radwindow control. On clicking that button, I displayed a confirmation asking the user whether he need to leave the page and all data will be lost. If the user click yes means, I want to open a new page in the same radwindow. I dont want the window to be closed and again open the desired page which I have already tried. Any alternative?

Thanks & Regards
Henry.

Hi Henry,

Telerik RadWindow offers two modes for loading the content inside - ContentTemplate and NavigateUrl. When the ContentTemplate is used the RadWindow acts as an INaming container on the page and the controls inside are still a part of the page. When the NavigateUrl is set the RadWindow loads the external page in an iframe, which creates a separate document. So if you are having a RadWindow with a ContentTemplate in the mark-up, the NavigateUrl has no effect even if you set it from JavaScript. Please have a look at the following code I tried in which there are two divs inside the ContentTemplate. Inside the first div, I have placed all the controls which should be rendered like the ContentTemplate on the first load of RadWindow (second div will be hidden), then inside the second div I have placed an Iframe which is used to display the desired page or a link and on clicking the OK button in RadConfirm, this second div is displayed and the first div is hidden.

ASPX:

<telerik:RadButton ID="RadButton1" runat="server" AutoPostBack="false" OnClientClicked="openRadWindow"
    Text="Open RadWindow">
</telerik:RadButton>
<telerik:RadWindowManager ID="RadWindowManager1" runat="server">
    <Windows>
        <telerik:RadWindow ID="RadWindow1" runat="server" Width="700px" Height="500px">
            <ContentTemplate>
                <div id="div1" style="padding: 40px 10px 20px 30px; width: 100%;">
                    <telerik:RadTextBox ID="RadTextBox1" runat="server" EmptyMessage="Your Name">
                    </telerik:RadTextBox>
                    <br />
                    <br />
                    <telerik:RadTextBox ID="RadTextBox2" runat="server" EmptyMessage="Your Email-ID">
                    </telerik:RadTextBox>
                    <br />
                    <br />
                    <telerik:RadTextBox ID="RadTextBox3" runat="server" EmptyMessage="Your Contact Number">
                    </telerik:RadTextBox>
                    <br />
                    <br />
                    <telerik:RadButton ID="RadButton2" runat="server" Text="Save">
                    </telerik:RadButton>
                    <telerik:RadButton ID="RadButton3" runat="server" Text="Cancel" AutoPostBack="false"
                        OnClientClicked="openNewPage">
                    </telerik:RadButton>
                </div>
                <div id="div2" style="display: none;">
                    <iframe runat="server" id="iframe1"></iframe>
                </div>
            </ContentTemplate>
        </telerik:RadWindow>
    </Windows>
</telerik:RadWindowManager>

JavaScript:

<script type="text/javascript">
    function openRadWindow(sender, args) {
        var radwindow1 = $find('<%=RadWindow1.ClientID %>');
        radwindow1.show();
    }

    function openNewPage(sender, args) {
        radconfirm("Are you sure you want to leave this page?", callback);
    }
    function callback(arg) {
        if (arg == true) {
            var radwindow1 = $find('<%=RadWindow1.ClientID %>');
            radwindow1._contentElement.children.div1.style.display = "none";
            radwindow1._contentElement.children.div2.style.display = "block";
            radwindow1._contentElement.children.div2.children.RadWindow1_C_iframe1.width = radwindow1._width;
            radwindow1._contentElement.children.div2.children.RadWindow1_C_iframe1.height = radwindow1._height;
            radwindow1._contentElement.children.div2.children.RadWindow1_C_iframe1.src = "http://www.telerik.com";
        }
    }
</script>

Great shinu. Can you explain how those modes differ and more about it?

Hi Henry,

Please have a look at this demo which describes the difference between the two modes of RadWindow.

Thanks,
