I have an interesting problem. I know the cause, but I am not sure if there is a solution.
Environment:
IIS, VS 2005, Firefox 2.0.0.7 or IE 7, Virtual Earth v5
Description of the problem:
I am using a RadWindow with Virtual earth to show details of points on my map. It works fine when the VE map is in 2D mode, but when it is in 3D mode the map is rendered differently. Because of this, you have to put a shim element (iframe) between the control you want to see over the map, and the map.
When I pull up a rad window, the content of the window is visible over the map, but the title bar is behind the map. This is because the content is inside an Iframe with a zIndex greater than that of the map. The title bar and the window border are not inside an iframe. Even though the zIndex of the DIV is set at 99002, it has no shim element to sit above the map.
The need for the shim element in 3D mode is documented in the VE v5 documentation http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb412435.aspx
I would try to put a shim between the map and the window that is the same size and position as the window, but I don't know how I would get it to move and resize with the window.
I would really like to use the RadWindow for this feature, but I may not be able to do that if I can't figure out a way to fix it.
Please let me know if you can help.
Thanks,
Peter

Hi Peter,
We are actually using such iframe which should be rendered behind the whole RadWindow object (e.g. content page, titlebar, statusbar, etc.). Can you please clarify which is the exact version of the RadWindow control that you are using? Also please open a new support ticket and send us a small project where the problem can be reproduced. We will investigate the case and do our best to help right away.
