[Solved] Open Files in Explorer tab

[Kevin]

I have a fileExplorer that open files but what it does is open the files in a radwindow.  Current the fileExplorer is in a Radwindow itself.  Is there a way to force it to open the files in another IE tab.

<tr>
                   <td><telerik:RadFileExplorer ID="radExplorer" runat="server" Width="400px" Height="200px" EnableOpenFile="true" DisplayUpFolderItem="false"
                       EnableCreateNewFolder="false" AvailableFileListControls="Grid" ExplorerMode="Default">
                           <Configuration ViewPaths="~/PriorSvcUploads" />
                       </telerik:RadFileExplorer>
                   </td>
               </tr>

Hello Kevin,

A possible way to implement the described functionality is to attach a handler to the FileExplorer's ClientFileOpen event where you can access the selected item url and to cancel the opening of the RadWindow. For example:

<telerik:RadFileExplorer runat="server" ID="radFileExplorer" OnClientFileOpen="OnClientFileOpen">
    <Configuration ViewPaths="~/Images" />
</telerik:RadFileExplorer>
<script>
    function OnClientFileOpen(fileExplorer, args) {
        var item = args.get_item();
        window.open(item.get_url(), "_blank");
        args.set_cancel(true)
    }
</script>

I hope this approach will be applicable for your scenario.
