Hello,
I have been using the Ajaxtoolkit popup and the update panel until now. I am now beginning to use Telerik controls and so far am not too fond of the Telerik Window as compared to the Ajax popup extender.
All I want to do is show some details of a grid in a popup window. The content in the popup will have some controls that the user will postback. I want to avoid having to load another page in the pop as the Telerik Window seems to require.
What are my options?
Can you suggest some examples with code?
Thanks

Hi Howard,
The idea behind the RadWindow is to replace the standard browser's popup (window.open) and the control itself is basically an IFRAME. That is why it supports only external pages which are displayed in its content area.
For cases like yours I would suggest to consider RadDock or RadTooltip. Just as the RadWindow control, they are built upon the ASP.NET AJAX framework and they support having the content on the main page.
Sincerely yours,

For your convenience I attached a small sample that shows how to achieve the desired behavior by using gridview and RadToolTip. Please use the code as a base and extend it further to fit your requirements.
