set VisibleOnPageLoad via client script

[Wolfgang Sigel]

Hi, does anybody know whether it is possible to set the VisibleOnPageLOad attribute via client script ? I haven't found an appropriate method in the client side api of the RadWindow.

Thanks very much,
Wolfgang

Hello Wolfgang,

VisibleOnPageLoad can be set on the server only. If you want to open RadWindow on the client, you should use radopen() / show().

There appears to be a method called "set_visibleOnPageLoad()" in the client side window object that gets passed into OnClientClose. I tried calling it, but it doesn't seem to do anything.
Should I be able to use this method ?

Hello Jose,

This setter is automatically created because of the ASP.NET AJAX conventions - all server-side properties should generate client setter / getter. This method however will not work - that is why it is not documented.

I have had an issue with "VisibleOnPageLoad" too.  I am opening a radwindow via javascript and everything is working just fine.  My PM, however, wants a "Loading" image to appear while the page inside of the Rad Window is coming up.  After reading through the Telerik site, I know that I need to have the following properties set:

• ShowContentDuringLoad="false" 
• VisibleOnPageLoad="true"

I have tried setting them via javascript using "set_showContentDuringLoad(false)" and "set_visibleOnPageLoad(true)".  While debugging, it looks like the properties are set correctly, but there is no effect on the window and I don't see the "Loading" image.  When I set VisibleOnPageLoad to true on the server, after opening the Rad Window using my javascript, another Rad Window opens using any server side properties that I had set and ignoring the javascript set properties altogether .

Is there some way to get "ShowContentDuringLoad" and "VisibleOnPageLoad" set properly from my javascript so that the "Loading" image appears on the page in the Rad Window, while at the same time not opening a new "phantom" window?

Thanks,
Derek

Hi Tim,

Basically, for the RadWindow to show a "Loading" image, its ShowContentDuringLoad property must be set to false (there is no need to set ReloadOnShow for that purpose). This property, along with ReloadOnShow, cannot be set from the client.
I am not quite sure what your exact scenario is, but I would suggest to open a support ticket and to send me a sample project that shows your setup and what exactly you try to achieve. I will examine it and do my best to provide you with the most appropriate solution.
