    I just upgraded my rad controls for AJAX.

    I have a GridView with a radMenu embedded in it.  it uses the following code to popup a window...

    RadMenuItem DetailsMI = new RadMenuItem("Properties", string.Empty);
    DetailsMI.ImageUrl = "images/Details.gif";
    DetailsMI.Attributes["onclick"] = string.Format("javascript:PT_ViewPage('{0}'); return(false);", DetailsURL.ToURL());
    Menu.Items.Add(DetailsMI);

    The JavaScript PT_ViewPage looks like this...

    function PT_ViewPage(TargetURL) {
        WindowArray[WindowArray.length] = window.open(TargetURL, "", "width=900, height=800, status=no, scrollbars=yes, resizable=yes");
    }

    Nothing fancy here.  The problem is that before the Teleric update, the child window that is opened used to remain on top - it retained focus.  After the update, focus shifts back to the parent window.

    My question is:  What changed and how do I get the windows to behave like it used to???

    Sorry, it is a radContextMenu.  Here is the ASPX markup...

    <asp:TemplateField ShowHeader="false"  ItemStyle-Width="5%"  ItemStyle-HorizontalAlign="Right">
          <ItemTemplate>
            <asp:Image ID="btnPopup" runat="server" ImageUrl="images/Expand.jpg"   />
            <telerik:RadContextMenu 
                ID="mnuRow" 
                runat="server" 
                OnItemClick="ControlContextMenu_Click" 
                OnClientItemClicking="OnDeleteItemClicking" 
                CollapseAnimation-Duration="100" 
                ExpandAnimation-Duration="100" 
                ExpandDelay="0" 
                >
            <Targets>
                <telerik:ContextMenuControlTarget ControlID="btnPopup" />
            </Targets>
            </telerik:RadContextMenu>
        </ItemTemplate>
        </asp:TemplateField>

    Hello Ken De Vries,

    I tried to reproduce the issue that you encounter but with no success. Can you send us a sample running project with the problem that you describe?

    Kind regards,

    Has this been answered? I am hitting the same problem ... setting the .Attributes["onclick"] = "open some popup" ...   causes the popup to not get focus. It seems like the focus shifts back to the parent window ... effectively hiding the popup window.

    Is there a workaround to this behavior (I simply want a RadMenuItem to open a popup when clicked).

    Thanks

    Hi,

    I suppose you want to open a radwindow on clicking menu item. Here is the sample code.
    C#:
    protected void RadMenu1_ItemClick(object sender, RadMenuEventArgs e)
    {
        if (e.Item.Text == "open")
        {
            string script = "function f(){$find(\"" + RadWindow1.ClientID + "\").show(); Sys.Application.remove_load(f);}Sys.Application.add_load(f);";
            ScriptManager.RegisterStartupScript(this, this.GetType(), "key", script, true);
        }
    }

    Thanks,
    Princy.

    I am actually just trying to run some JavaScript to do a window.open. Your sample looks like a server post-back. Is there a way to simply run JavaScript to do a window.open without using postbacks and without the RadMenu control "stealing focus" after the JS runs?
    Thanks

    Hi,

    You can try the following client side approach.
    JS:
    function OnClientItemClicked(sender, args) {
        if (args.get_item().get_text() == "open")
          {
        var window = $find('<%= RadWindow1.ClientID %>').show();
        }
    }

    Thanks,
    Princy.
