Render Window via CodeBehind

[Chase Florell]

Ok so I am completely new to this concept so I am looking for a "For Dummies" approach to accomplishing my task.

Basically I want to render a RadWindow at runtime for the simple fact that I do NOT want to have the code in my ASPX file... for cleanliness reasons.

    Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load

        'Create RadWindow Instance
        Dim RadWindow1 As New RadWindow
        RadWindow1.ID = "RadWindow1"
        RadWindow1.Skin = "Vista"
        RadWindow1.Modal = "true"
        RadWindow1.VisibleStatusbar = "false"
        RadWindow1.VisibleTitlebar = "true"
        RadWindow1.Behaviors = WindowBehaviors.Close ' & WindowBehaviors.Move
        RadWindow1.OpenerElementID = "Button1"
        RadWindow1.NavigateUrl = "~/App_Windows/ADMIN.aspx"
        RadWindow1.Width = "800"
        RadWindow1.Height = "650"
        RadWindow1.KeepInScreenBounds = "true"
        RadWindow1.EnableAjaxSkinRendering = "true"
       Me.Controls.Add(RadWindow1)

    End Sub

Where have I gone wrong?

This is all the "View Source" output I receive from running the page.

<div id="RadWindow1" style="display:none;">
    <input id="RadWindow1_ClientState" name="RadWindow1_ClientState" type="hidden" />
</div>

ANSWER

Found a great solution at http://www.telerik.com/support/kb/article/b454K-gtb-b454T-cec.aspx

instead of using
me.controls.add(RadWindow1)
I used
form1.controls.add(RadWindow1)

I don't know enough about .NET to know the difference, but I do know it worked.

Hello Chase,

Indeed, you need to add the controls that you create to the <form> in order for them to work properly. Same holds true for any RadControl.
