[Solved] Open radwindow within another and set it acrive

[max]

I cant set a radwindow active when I open it from another radwindow, this is the code I'm using:

    openSelectorWindow : function(ControlID,WindowUrl){
        var baseWnd = MyJsClass.GetRadWindow();
        if (baseWnd) {
            var url = WindowUrl+'?WindowID='+baseWnd.get_name()+'&ControlID='+ControlID;
            var oWnd = baseWnd.GetWindowManager().Open(url, ControlID);
            oWnd.set_visible();
            oWnd.setActive();
        }
        else{
            var url = WindowUrl+'?ControlID='+ControlID;
            var oWnd = window.radopen(url, ControlID);
        }
    },
    GetRadWindow : function (){
        var oWindow = null;
        if (window.radWindow) oWindow = window.radWindow;
        else if (window.frameElement && window.frameElement.radWindow) oWindow = window.frameElement.radWindow;
        return oWindow;
    },

It seem that the setActive and the SetVisible functions dont't work in this case...

I saw this example:
http://www.telerik.com/DEMOS/ASPNET/Prometheus/Window/Examples/CommunicationBetweenRadWindows/DefaultCS.aspx
where a window is opened from another window.
I hope that it will help you.

Unfortunately, the aspx for the RadWindows seem to have been omitted, making this example pretty much useless. Also, it would be really nice if the examples said what version then run in and when they were posted.  I spend a lot of time looking at obsolete stuff.

Hi James,

Thank you for the provided project, I was able to reproduce the described behavior.

I suggest instead of making the second window active just to open it with a little timeout as shown below:

   setTimeout(function(){  var oWnd = baseWnd.GetWindowManager().Open(url, ControlID);
            oWnd.set_visible();
            oWnd.setActive(); }, 0);

Actually, timeout of 0 will also do the trick in case the content page is not too heavy and does not take a very long time to load.

All the best,
