Hi,

I have a window from which I am trying to open another window which is bigger in size than the parent window..with fixed height and width. Even when the modal property is set to true the new window doesnt get visible completely. Scroll bars gets added to the parent window.
I would like to see the new window on top of the parent window instead of inside the parent window.
Can you suggest any solutions??

Hello Ankit,

Check out the following demo which implements the same scenario.
Window / Returning Values from a Dialog.

Take a look at the following code library as well.
Opening a RadWindow from within RadWindow

Thanks,
Shinu.

Hi Ankit,

It is expected that the child element is limited in the parent's bounds. To override this behavior you should open new RadWindows from the browser window. The Modal property creates an overlay background that disables its parent, it does not let it leave these bounds.

A shorter explanation is available in the documentation: http://www.telerik.com/help/aspnet-ajax/window-programming-opening-from-within-dialog.html.

If the new window opens below the first one you might need to call its setActive() method after you open it.

Hello Ankit,

You can make the second RadWindow modal - either by setting its server-side Modal property to true (if you are always opening the same one), or via its client-side API - the set_modal(true) method.
