When we open a RadWindow, the visited url in that window is added to the browser history.

Is it possible to prevent this behavior?

The logical behind this is that it is not correct for the user to bookmark that url since it can only be displayed in the context of the parent window.

Thanks,

Hugues

Hi Hugues,

I understand your scenario but in order to achieve the desired behavior you need to use a history management mechanism and there is no such at the time being. As far as I know it is under development at the moment for the AJAX Framework.

This behavior is not related to the RadWindow control itself but that is the way the browser works - if you replace the RadWindow with a standard IFRAME you will get the same behavior. The reason is that the browser actualizes its history every time a url is changed.

What I can suggest is not to use RadWindow and a URL but to use another control and directly place the content there. For example you can use a RadToolTip with its ManualClose property set to true or a RadDock control.

I hope that you will find this information helpful. 

Best wishes,
