[Solved] radAlert before closing radWindow

[Steven Black]

I have a radWindow with the following javascript code:

<script type="text/javascript">
        //This code is used to provide a reference to the RadWindow "wrapper"
        function GetRadWindow() {
            var oWindow = null;
            if (window.radWindow) oWindow = window.radWindow; //Will work in Moz in all cases, including clasic dialog
            else if (window.frameElement.radWindow) oWindow = window.frameElement.radWindow; //IE (and Moz az well)
            return oWindow;
        }

        function CloseOnReload(prmMsg) {
            if (prmMsg.length > 0) {
                alert(prmMsg);
            }
            GetRadWindow().Close();
        }
    </script>

I have the following in my code-behind:

Dim closescript As String = "<script>CloseOnReload('" & strMsg & "')</" + "script>"
        ScriptManager.RegisterStartupScript(Me.Page, Me.GetType(), "CloseOnReload", closescript, False)

When I run this, I correctly get an alert message, followed by the page closing after the user hits the [OK] button.

I would like to show a radAlert instead of the normal javascript alert.  I have a radWindowManager on the page and I changed

alert(prmMsg);

to

radalert(prmMsg, null, null, 'My Title');

This is not working though.  How can I change my alert to be a radalert instead?

Thanks.

Thanks for the link.  I almost have it working now.  I have two javascript functions:

function BeforeCloseEditPage(radWindow) {
            var oValue = radWindow.Argument;
            if (oValue != '') {
                var mySplitResult = oValue.split("!");
                var Reload = mySplitResult[0];
                var Msg = mySplitResult[1];

                if (Msg != '') {
                    radalert(Msg, 300, 200, 'Note');
                }
            }
        }

        // Called when a window is being closed.
        function CloseEditPage(radWindow) {
            var oValue = radWindow.Argument;
            if (oValue != '') {
                var mySplitResult = oValue.split("!");
                var Reload = mySplitResult[0];
                var Msg = mySplitResult[1];

                if (Reload = 'Yes') {
                    documentdocument.location.href = document.location.href;
                }
            }
        }

Function BeforeCloseEditPage is called during the OnClientBeforeClose event.  The CloseEditPage function is called during the OnClientClose event.

My radalert is being displayed within the BeforeCloseEditPage function.  However, it immediately disappears and the page reloads (note - the Reload variable will always be a Yes if there is a message to display).  I don't have time to read the alert or hit the OK button.

Hi Steven,

I suppose that BeforeCloseEditPage method is attached to the OnClientBeforeClose event of the RadWindow object. Please note that you need to use the second parameter (the args, as shown in the demo) in order to cancel closing the window. Your code should looks like this:

function BeforeCloseEditPage(radWindow, args)
{
    var oValue = "text1!text2"; // FOR EXAMPLE       radWindow.Argument;
    if (oValue != '')
    {
        var mySplitResult = oValue.split("!");
        var Reload = mySplitResult[0];
        var Msg = mySplitResult[1];

        if (Msg != '')
        {
            args.set_cancel(true);// Cancel closing for now
            var oAlert = radalert(Msg, 300, 200, 'Note');// Show alert message
            oAlert.add_close(alertCloseHandler);// Attacha handler which will be executed when the alert dialog is closed
            function alertCloseHandler()
            {// alert dialog is closed
                radWindow.remove_beforeClose(BeforeCloseEditPage); // remove handler in order to avoid recursion
                radWindow.close(); // Actual close of the window. The 'BeforeCloseEditPage' handler will not be called
                radWindow.add_beforeClose(BeforeCloseEditPage); // Add handler again
            }
        }
    }
}

function CloseEditPage(radWindow, args)
{
    alert("Window is closed");
    //code
}

I hope this helps.
