Opening RadWindow in Server code

[M Oz]

I am having trouble opening a RadWindow using server code.  I have to set Session variables before the window is open, so I have to open it in server code.  The server code worked with a regular window, but not with RadWindow.  I have tried all of the techniques listed below (I replaced url with [path] & window name with [name]):

popupScript =

"<script>var wnd = window.radopen(\"[path]\", \"[name]\");</script>";

Page.RegisterStartupScript(

"PopupScript", popupScript);

 

or:
[javascript]

function

 

OpenWindow(name) {

 

 

var wnd = window.radopen([path], [name]);

 

 

wnd.Maximize();

 

return false;

 

}
[c#]

 

popupScript =

"<script>OpenWindow('[name]');</script>";
Page.RegisterStartupScript("PopupScript", popupScript);

or:
popupScript = 'javascript:OpenWindow('[name]');:;
Page.RegisterStartupScript("PopupScript", popupScript);

I know that Page.RegisterStartupScript is considered obsolete, but it still works to open normal windows.  Is there something specific I would have to do to make a RadWindow able to be opened in server code?

Hello,

You can open the RadWindow from the server code as shown below.

CS:

    protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        // Your code to set the Session variable
        RadWindow newwindow = new RadWindow(); // Create new instance of window
        newwindow.ID = "RadWindow2";
        newwindow.NavigateUrl = "http://www.google.com"; // Set NavigateUrl
        newwindow.Behaviors = WindowBehaviors.Close;
        newwindow.VisibleOnPageLoad = true; // Set the VisibleOnPageLoad property to True
        RadWindowManager1.Windows.Add(newwindow); // Adds the window to windowmanager collection
    }

Also checkout the following documentation:

Hello M,

I would recommend to follow Shinu's suggestion and open the RadWindow directly from the server using its server-side API.
If for some reason however, you want to keep the client-side approach, I would suggest to check the following blog post:
