RadWindowManager OnClientClose

[JustinWong]

In my OnClientClose client event of the RadWindowManager, I have codes that opens up another form using
var w = window.open(.....);
w.focus();

the window opens as it should, however, the focus is always returned to the calling form  (i.e.: the window opens, but is immediately minimized).  This only happens if window.open is called from the RadWindowManager's OnClientClose event.  If I use the same code (var w = window.open(....); w.focus();) elsewhere, it works as it should.  Is there something with RadWindowManager that forces focus back to the main form at the end of OnClientClose event?  If so, how can I overcome that?

Thanks!

Hello JustinWong,

I am not sure what your exact setup is, but at this point I would suggest to try using a small timeout

...........
window.setTimeout(function ()
{
    var w = window.open(.....);
    w.focus();
}, 100;);
...........

If this doesn't help, please submit a support ticket with a sample project so I can check it.

Thanks Georgi. That worked!  Now, for the education part:  Why would imposing a delay makes a difference?

Thanks!

Hello Justin,

Lucky guess maybe? ;)

Seriously, I am not familiar with your exact setup and if you execute other code in OnClientClose, but I assumed that the RadWindow is modal - sometimes it happens so that the modal layer is still present on the page while code in OnClientClose is executed and when the layer is removed, the browser automatically returns the focus to the parent page. There are couple of other scenarios where a problem with focus might occur (e.g. opening a modal RadWindow from within another RadWindow by clicking on an imagebutton), but I decided to suggest the timeout first :D
