Hi Vijaianand,

According to the error, that you have already noticed yourself, I believe the examples that you have found are for RadSplitter Classic, that is why the GetPaneById() and Print() methods are capitalized, but this should not be the problem because RadSplitter for ASP.NET AJAX have those methods too.

I tried the sample from the help article that Princy linked and I was able to to print the panes content without any errors. For your convenience I have attached my sample page, could you please modify it to a point where the problem occurs and send it back?

In addition, in your initial post you are mentioning dead links - "There are links in those threads which are erroring out". Could you please point those thread so we can try to provide the correct links (if possible).

Hi Vijai,

RadSlidingPane does not offer the possibility to print its content out-of-the-box, nevertheless, you can use the following function to achieve the required result:

function printSlidingPaneContent(slidingPaneId, arrCssFiles)

{

var sPane = $find(slidingPaneId);

var sFeatures = 'width=' + sPane.get_width() + 'px, height=' + sPane.get_height() + 'px, scrollbars=1';

var previewWndUrl = 'about:blank';

var previewWnd = window.open(previewWndUrl, '', sFeatures, false);

//CSS files to be included in the popup window

var styleStr = "";

if (arrCssFiles) {

styleStr = "<head>";

for (var i = 0, length = arrCssFiles.length; i < length; i++) {

styleStr += "<link href = '" + arrCssFiles[i] + "' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'></link>";

}

styleStr += "</head>";

}

var popupContent = styleStr + "<body>" + sPane.getContent() + "</body>"

previewWnd.document.open();

previewWnd.document.write(popupContent);

previewWnd.document.close();

previewWnd.print();

}

For your convenience I have attached a sample page demonstrating this approach.

Hi Vijai,

In general, the printing functionality is controlled by the browser and the OS and cannot be modified programmatically.

RadSplitter does not offer the functionality to display external content inside its sliding panes, and does not offer functionality to access the content of <iframe> elements out-of-the-box.

If you are using an <iframe> to display external content inside RadSlidingPane you need to manually extract the content of this <iframe> and add it to the preview's popup window. However, accessing the content of an <iframe> element is not always possible because of a security restriction in JavaScript - you cannot access content of an <iframe> if the page displayed inside it is from different domain.
