RadWindow Error Closing

[Keith Lusk]

The following does not work:

function

 

 

CloseOnReload() {

 

GetRadWindow().Close();

}

 

 

function GetRadWindow() {

 

 

 

var oWindow = null;

 

 

 

if (window.radWindow) oWindow = window.radWindow;

 

 

 

else if (window.frameElement.radWindow) oWindow = window.frameElement.radWindow;

 

 

 

return oWindow;

 

}

This is called by a CloseOnReload() script registered as a startup script when some action is performed.

Hi,

The code should be executed in the radwindow page as described in the documentation here.
Executing Script on a Reload

     If you want to close the window from parent page, then you need to access the window client object and invoke the close() method. Get the client object of window by using 'getWindowByName' method.

Hi,

First, thank you so much for your response. The radwindow is contained by the radwindow manager. I had to set

PreserveClientState

 

 

="true" on the manager in order to keep the window open when posting information from the window back to the server. The window is not accessing a separate page url, but is using a content template. When the done button (linkbutton) is clicked in the radwindow, if the page is valid, then I register the startup script to close the window. I have found that in the window show javascript function GetRadWindowManager() returns a reference to the radwindowmanager, but in the CloseOnReload, GetRadWindowManager returns null.

The getWindowByName or getWindowByID methods of the radwindowmanager will not work until I can get a reference to the RadWindowManager. I have looked at the source of the page  and have found the client ID of the radwindow manager = <div id="ctl00_ContentPlaceHolder1_contolPanel_ctl00_ctl01_rgLinkList_ctl00_ctl02_ctl03_gceGenericContent_rwmManager" style="display:none;"> and the client id of the radwindow(there is only one): <div id="ctl00_ContentPlaceHolder1_contolPanel_ctl00_ctl01_rgLinkList_ctl00_ctl02_ctl03_gceGenericContent_rwContentEditor" style="display:none;">.

The id of each is rwmManager and rwContentEditor. Why would GetRadWindowManager() not return the manager reference? Is there some other method that should be used in the Javascript?

Thanks
Keith

Hi Keith,

The GetRadWindow() function is used to reference a RadWindow from inside its content page. In your case, however, the RadWindow and its content are all on the same page - that is why you should simply reference it as you reference a client object on the same page - by using the $find method.

Hi Svetlina,

Thank you for the reply. That suggestion did not work. On the debug of the javascript for the CloseOnReload function, the following $finds:

var

 

 

oManager = $find("<%= rwmManager.ClientID %>");
oManager.closeall();
var oWnd = $find("<%= rwContentEditor.ClientID %>");

 

oWnd.close();

Both returned null references. Neither the Manager nor the Window could be found.

If I do a search on the source control for each -> The Manager:
<div id="ctl00_ContentPlaceHolder1_contolPanel_ctl00_ctl01_rgLinkList_ctl00_ctl02_ctl03_gceGenericContent_rwmManager" style="display:none;">
And the window:
<div id="ctl00_ContentPlaceHolder1_contolPanel_ctl00_ctl01_rgLinkList_ctl00_ctl02_ctl03_gceGenericContent_rwContentEditor" style="display:none;">

Are both on the page.

Thanks
Keith

As previously stated, I still cannot get this window to close. See above
