    Hello,

    I am attempting to host external web content in a RadHtmlPlaceholder inside a RadWindow (the goal being a popup window for help content). When the window opens, it is populated with the following text:

    RadHtmlPlaceholder requires the "Windowless" parameter of the Silverlight application to be True.

    This is a bit confusing, as I haven't found this setting in the RadHtmlPlaceholder demos. Some insight into the reasoning behind this would be very useful (as would any documentation for RadHtmlPlaceholder).

    Thanks,
    ~stuart

    The windowless property is on the control itself -

    <

     

    asp:Silverlight ID="MySL" runat="server" Source="~/ClientBin/MySilverLight.xap" MinimumVersion="2.0.31005.0" Width="100%" Height="100%"  Windowless="true"/>

     I think what is really happening is an Iframe possibly in a div is generated on the page in html and then absolutely positioned over the control. I may be wrong but I am pretty sure Silverlight 2.0 doesn't support any html content within the scope of the control. I hope this helps.

    That is not enough. That will work well on localhost but won't do good if it has been hosted from an Apache server. For that you need to add the same property in HTML file too. Something like
    <HTML>
    <div id="silverlightControlHost">
            <object data="data:application/x-silverlight-2," type="application/x-silverlight-2" width="50%" height="100%">
                <param name="windowless" value="true"/>
                ....................................................................

                ....................................................................
    </div>
    </HTML>

                ....................................................................

    Hi Sameer,

    Thank you for your participation in the forum.

    More information about the RadHtmlPlaceholder control you can find in our online documentation. For example the windowless property is pointed in the RadHtmlPlaceholder - Getting Started article - there are examples for both ASP and HTML pages.

    Another good source is the KB section.

    Please preview them and let us know if you need more information about the html placeholder.

    Sincerely yours,
