radWindow Close problem

[Bob]

I have a Prometheus radWindow that pops up when I click a button on my radGrid.  The radWindow pops like I want.  But now I want to close the popup radwindow when I click a asp.net button.  How can I do this?

Thanks,
Bob

Hi Bob,

You should have reference to the window object and then apply the close() method on it. More information on taking a reference and using this method you can find here.

Basically you should call javascript function like this on the button onclick event:

function closeWindow()
{
  var oWnd = $find("<%= RadWindow1.ClientID %>");
  oWnd.close();
}

where RadWindow1 is the ID of your RadWindow.

I'm still lost George.  Sorry, but I'm not too strong with javascript.  I put the closeWindow() function on my pop-up page right?  But now I get an error that says RadWindow1 is not declared.  I double-checked and my ID on my radWindow="RadWindow1" on my parent page.

Also, as you respond, please let me know if the code or javascript function goes on the pop-up page or the parent page.

thanks,
Bob

Hi Bob,

I prepared a small sample for you that shows how to open and close RadWindow by using its Client-Side API and outputting a Javascript function from the server. Please check the code and use the approach that suits your requirements.

More information on RadWindow's API can be found in the documentation, section Controls / RadWindow / Programming.

Hi George,

I cannot use the sample you sent me because I have to open my window differently.  I open the radwindow from my radgrid row thru a button.  And I pass it a querystring.  I probably should have told you this in the beginning.  So the NavigateURL on the readwindow control will not work.  Here is how I call my radwindow from my radgrid:

<

Telerik:GridTemplateColumn>

<ItemTemplate>

<a href="#" onclick="openRadWindow('<%#DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem,"TaskID")%>'); return false;">Tasks</a>

</ItemTemplate>

</Telerik:GridTemplateColumn>

And here is the realted javascript function:

<

script type="text/javascript">

function OpenPositionedWindow(oButton, url, windowName)

{

var oWnd = window.radopen(url,windowName);

}

function openRadWindow(TaskID)

{

var oWnd = radopen("TaskMaintenance.aspx?TaskID=" + TaskID, "RadWindow1" );

oWnd.Center();

}

</script>

The pop-up window does appear.  I simply want to close this popup window when an ASP:Button is clicked and return to my parent page.  I hope this additional code that I presented helps.  Like I said earlier, I am terrible with javascript so be patient with me. :)

George,

I did get it working by using your asp:button example in my child window.  I thought I had tried this before but I must have done something wrong.  Anyway, it works now.  I appreciate your help!

Your example worked like a charm.  Thanks!

if you dont need an asp:button you can use
<input type="button" value="Close" onclick="javascript:closeWin();"  />
