RadWindow Closing

[Rodney]

I have a RadWindow with a RadEditor defined on it. When a user enters more than the MaxTextLength value for the RadEditor with an error. When you click OK for the error pop-up the RadWindow Closes. I need to be able to get the error message and keep the window open. Here's the definition for the Window, any help would be appreciated.

Hello Rodney,

I am not sure what the server code of these buttons does and where the OK button is, but at this point I can suggest you use AJAX to prevent the postbacks from disposing (and, effectively, closing) the RadWindow. The following article explains how: http://docs.telerik.com/devtools/aspnet-ajax/controls/window/how-to/how-to-use-radwindow-with-ajax.
