Open RadWindow from CodeBehind in VB

[ClarkSRoberts]

I have seen a couple of examples of opening a window from codebehind using C#., but none using VBScript. I must be the last guy on earth using VB.

Can anyone post a code sample of how to open a RadWindow from codebehind with VB Script?

Thanks

Hi ClarkSRoberts,

Every article in our documentation that uses server-side code, provides C# and VB.NET versions of that code. In your case I suggest to check the following link:
http://www.telerik.com/help/aspnet-ajax/window_settingserversideproperties.html

As you can see, to open a RadWindow from the server, you need to:

1. Create the window or use already created one
2. Set the properties that you need (Width, Height, etc.)
3. Set its VisibleOnPageLoad property to true
4. If the RadWindow is a new one - to add it to the page as a standalone control or in the Windows collection of an existing RadWindowManager.

e.g.

'Create a new window add it dynamically
'The window will inherit the default settings of parent WindowManager
Dim newWindow As New Telerik.Web.UI.RadWindow()
newWindow.NavigateUrl = "http://www.sitefinity.com"
'Top and Left can be used in conjunction with the OffsetElementId (if no OffsetElementId is specified, the top left corner of the browser window is used
newWindow.Top = Unit.Pixel(22)
newWindow.Left = Unit.Pixel(0)
'OPTION 1
'Add the newly created RadWindow to the RadWindowManager's collection
'WindowManager.Windows.Add(newWindow)
'OPTION 2
'since in the for ASP.NET AJAX version you can have a RadWindow outside of a RadWindowManager
'as a separate control, you can add the newly created RadWindow directly to the form's Controls collection
form1.Controls.Add(newWindow)

Hi Georgi Tunev
In your example you create a window but you do not open it

How to open it automatically (for example after a click on a button (check of data on the server and  if OK we open the window)

Thank you in advance for your help

Hello Levefaude,

You can try the following code snippet to open RadWindow on button click.

VB:

Protected Sub Button1_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs)
    Dim script As String = "function f(){$find(""" + RadWindow1.ClientID & """).show(); Sys.Application.remove_load(f);}Sys.Application.add_load(f);"
    ScriptManager.RegisterStartupScript(Me, Me.[GetType](), "key", script, True)
End Sub
                       OR

Protected Sub Button1_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs)
        RadWindow1.VisibleOnPageLoad = True
    RadWindowManager1.Windows.Add(RadWindow1)
End Sub

Thanks,
Princy.

Thank you,

But it does not work with an a little bit complex procedure, and with radbutton, maybe be i work with asp button ?

Thank you and have a good day

Hello Levefaude,

Please examine the following sticky thread on opening a RadWindow from the server: http://www.telerik.com/community/forums/aspnet-ajax/window/opening-radwindow-from-the-server.aspx. This approach works in a more complex logic and it does not matter whether the postback is initiated from a regular button, radbutton, linkbutton etc.
