Opening RadWindow on click of the Grid Button Column

[saravanan k]

Hi all,

      I am having a radgrid with a grid button column meant for playing an audio file. I gave the command name as "Play" and in the grid_itemcommand event handler i tried to open a radwindow having the media player from code behind. But since my grid is configured with rad ajax manager and rad ajax loading panel to make ajax postbacks i am not getting the radwindow. When i removed the radajax manger and loading panel the window appears as expected.

 But i dont want the page to get reloaded for even for a sort operation. Is there anything similar to the triggers of update panel for loading panel or any other ways please suggest.

Regards,
Saravanan K

Hi Pavlina,
              
                 Thanks for the reply. But that demo is based on opening the window from javascript. But in my case i want to set some session variables and do some server side logic before opening the window. So I would prefer opening the window from the code behind. I am having the following code in itemCommand event handler.

else if (e.CommandName == "Play")
            {
                GridDataItem row = e.Item as GridDataItem;
                string text = row["colPreview"].Text;

                //asssign to session variable
                Session["text"] = text;

                TelerikNew.RadWindow window = new TelerikNew.RadWindow();
                window.ID = "Player";
                window.NavigateUrl = "Player.aspx";
                window.Visible = true;
                window.VisibleOnPageLoad = true;
                window.Title = "Player";
                window.Height = System.Web.UI.WebControls.Unit.Pixel(180);
                window.Width = System.Web.UI.WebControls.Unit.Pixel(200);
                window.Skin = "Office2007";
                window.VisibleTitlebar = true;
                window.Behaviors = Telerik.Web.UI.WindowBehaviors.Close;
                window.ShowContentDuringLoad = false;
                window.Modal = true;
                WindowManager.Windows.Add(window);
            }

and inside the Player.aspx.cs i am reading the text and displaying it over there. I cannot use QueryString for the same since the max length of the string can exceed 4000 characters.

But the problem i told in the post 1 still persists. Please help

Hello Saravanan,

You can open the RadWindow from the server by setting its VisibleOnPageLoad property to true. More information on the subject is available here:

Hi Nagendra,

Could you open a support ticket and send us a sample project where the problem with grid in popup window can be observed? Thus we will be able to debug it locally and provide a solution.
