RadWindow observations

[Lucian Duma]

Hello,

While the telerik ajax controls look really nice (both to the eye and to the developer), I've noticed some small things related to the RadWindow:

- when in modal mode, the application menu is not overlayed. (is this normal, or is just me :) ?)

- when using the Vista theme, with Close, Resize and Maximize behaviors, the corners don't show the right way (btw, how can I upload a photo that shows the bad alinement?).

- sometimes, when opening it programmatically, the code that previously worked (in ASPNET Rad Controls, Q22007) with 

radWnd.Maximize();

didn't maximize it, instead I had to use the following combination:

	radWnd.show();
	radWnd.maximize();
	radWnd.show();

The version I'm using is Q32008, released in January 2009.

For the rest of controls in this suite, for now I had no problems, great work!

Hi Lucian,

Straight to your questions:

• This behavior is expected - RadMenu's default z-index is higher than RadWindow's one. More information on the subject is available in the following resources:
  http://www.telerik.com/support/kb/aspnet-ajax/window/show-radwindow-above-radmenu.aspx
  http://www.telerik.com/help/aspnet-ajax/controlling-absolute-positioning-with-zindex.html
• Do you experience the same problem on our online demo (for convenience I attached a screenshot of the Vista skin in that demo)? If the problem still persist on your side, please open a support ticket and send me a small sample project that I can examine. My guess is that the problem is due to some global CSS style but without having a better look over your case, I cannot tell for sure.
• RadWindow for ASP.NET AJAX's API has been changed to match the Ajax convention. More on the subject is available here.

I hope this helps. Let me know if I can help you further.

All the best,

Hello Georgi,

I've managed to fix all three problems:

• the z-index solution on menu was preety straightforward
• the corner alingnament was due to global css in our application on <a> tags
• the code to maximize the window programatically was reduced to a call to show(), then maximize()

Thanks for your support,

Lucian
