Hello

The only way for add components to de RadWindows is link to another page that have the components?
In this case how I do for access from have the window for change one property of some control tha is in the link page?

How I do for refresh de content of the link page form the Window? , for example, when I click a button in the page that contain de Windows (but the button are not inside the Window) and the links page updates.

The reload method is only for JavaScrip?

It's possible write a method than when the Windows is resized, the control in the linked page are resized too?

I'm test the RadControls in Visual Studio 2005 and programming in C#.

Best regards
Alejandro Fernandez.

Hello Alejandro,

The RadWindow content can only be another page (.aspx, .html, etc.). You cannot have user controls (.ascx) or any other controls inside. The RadWindow page is a different document. However, the RadControls suite also has a RadDock control, which is similar to the window but its content can be any control.

If you want to access the main page from the page in a RadWindow, you need to do it with client-side (JavaScript) code. You cannot access the main page from the codebehind (C# or VB.NET) of the page inside the RadWindow. Here is a help article, which explains how to do this from the client - http://www.telerik.com/help/radcontrols/aspnet-ajax/window_ProgrammingCallingFunctions.html

As you already know, you can refresh the window using JavaScript.But if you postback the parent page, the page in the RadWindow will refresh as well. The RadWindow has a OnClientResize event, which is fired when the window is resized.

Sincerely yours,

We are looking for a new suite of controls with one year subscription. The choice will be Telerik or Infragistics. Telerik has the most controls we want. However we really want to use a "RadWindow" which can be filled with user controls. The work around with RadDock is not what we want.

Infragistics has a "Modal window" that can be filled with controls...

Has Telerik plans to develop a RadWindow with the possibility to fill the window with controls? If yes, when is this version expected?

Hope you can help,

JP

Hello JP,

Currently we don't have such plans - generally speaking providing such feature is out of the scope of the control. RadWindow is intended to replace the standard browser's popup (window.open) and as such, its content is loaded in an external page displayed in the container. We have RadDock and RadToolTip that provide such functionality and in many scenarios can be used as a replacement for the window control.

Since there are many request for such functionality however, I logged this forum thread in our database and we will consider it in one of our internal meetings in the near future. Once we come up with a decision, I will post here with more information.



All the best,
