[Solved] Problem with GetRadWindow()? Just checking...

[Eric]

I am trying to use GetRadWindow() but it blows up in javascript...

        function GetRadWindow() {
            var oWindow = null;
            if (window.radWindow)
                oWindow = window.radWindow;
            else if (window.frameElement.radWindow)
                oWindow = window.frameElement.radWindow;
            return oWindow;
        }

In my case (IE 8 in compatibility mode), window.radWindow is undefined, window.frameElement is null, therefore it blows up when trying to access window.frameElement.radWindow.

This happens in my "main" (default) page.
Does this happen because the page itself was not created by the RadWindow Manager?

Since my current page is not a RadWindow... How can I find its size so that I can size new windows accordingly?

Many Thanks

Hi Eric,

The GetRadWindow function is used to reference the RadWindow from inside the page which is loaded in it. That is why it throws an error when you want to use it on the main page. If you want to get the viewport bounds you should use javascript and the standard manners to do this depending on your exact requirements and scenario. You can also search the web which contains many relevant topics.
