[Solved] positioning a RadWindow off-screen

[IT Purchases]

I have a web page which uses several RadWindows to display content; they are lined up side-by-side.  There is a minimum pixel width requirement for each RadWindow, and I want the browser window to have a scrollbar and to continue placing RadWindows to the right if there is not enough space.  Is there a way to do this?

Hi,

You can achieve such functionality by developing a custom client-side logic that would calculate the positions of the window and their size and will use the RadWindow's client-side API - moveTo() and setSize() to position and size the windows correctly.

Our suggestion is to implement the desired logic not by using RadWindow but a standard browser's popup (window.open()) or DIV elements. Once you have it working as expected, it will be very easy to replace the popup with RadWindow.

I have already written the client-side logic to do this; the problem seems to be that the moveTo() function will not let me move the window beyond the bounds of what's currently visible in the browser, even if the page document itself is wider than the visible screen.  Is there any way around this?

Hi,

I am not sure how you set up your RadWindow, but I suggest to make sure that KeepInScreenBounds is set to false. This way you will be able to set the needed values to the moveTo() method.
