[Solved] Postback Causes Dialog Window Not To Open

[David]

Hi

I was wondering if anyone could help me out. I'm using the RadWindow control. The RadWindow control is on the page and the openerElement is inside an update panel. Everything works fine until the update panel is posted back to the server. Once this has happened when I click the button which previously opened the dialog, nothing happens! Any idea why this would be the case?

I've also tried moving the RadWindow control inside the update panel, but this seems to throw the following exception:

"Error.invalidOperation(Sys.Res.controlAlreadyDefined)"

I have an example project but cant see anywhere to attach this?

Thanks
David

Hi David,

I strongly recommend not to use the OpenerElementId property in such scenario - it is intended to be used in simple scenarios only - for example when you want to open a RadWindow popup by clicking on some element.

In cases where there is a more complex logic, AJAX involved, etc., I strongly recommend to use either the Client-Side or the Server-Side API for opening the RadWindow.
More information on how to set various server and client side properties is available in the documentation, section Controls / RadWindow / Programming.
