RadAjadPanel and Window

[vn]

Hi,

I have a page contains a RadAjaxPanel and a RadWindowManager.  The RadAjaxPanel contains a button (call Edit) to open a modal window to allow user to edit some data.  I want the RadAjaxPanel to refresh after the user click on the save button in the popup window.

I have three problems:

1. When I click on the Edit button, the RadAjaxPanel always refresh before showing the window.  How can I prevent this?
2. I cannot re-open the popup window anymore by clicking on the Edit button after I close the previous popup window (either by click the Save button or the X button).
3. If I put the RadWindowManager inside the RadAjaxPanel then the popup window automatically closed right after click on the Edit button.

Thank you,

Vincent

Hi Vincent,

The reason for the problem is that you are using the OpenerElementID property. I strongly recommend not to use the OpenerElementId property in such scenario - it is intended to be used in simple cases only when you want to open a RadWindow popup by clicking on some element.
When there is a more complex logic however, you need 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.

Thank you, Georgi  for the quick response.

Your suggestion works great.

1) I created a javascript function as follow:

function OpenWindow()
{
    var win = $find("<%= radWin1.ClientID %>");
    win.show();
}

2) remove the OpenerElementID="<%#btnEdit.ClientID %>" from the RadWindow

3) Add the following to the to the btnEdit button    
    OnClientClick="OpenWindow(); return false;"
