Shadow Opacity

[Toxic]

Hi,

Is there any way to change the opacity of the background shadow on a rad alert?

Basically I want to use it as a screen sheild, to mostly (but not completely) hide the contents of the window behind. Until the user clicks the prompt when they return to their desk.

I intend to use a client side popup for this.

Is it possible to change this setting?

Cheers

Hi Tox,

It is possible by modifying the CSS style of the modal overlay. Please note that this change would be global for the modal overlay for other RadWindows and the three dialog windows:

<style type="text/css">
    .TelerikModalOverlay
    {
        filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Alpha(style=0,opacity=90) !important;
        opacity: 0.9 !important;

    }

</style>

Another possible approach is to modify the overlay just for the RadAlert via JavaScript. I do not recommend this approach, as if things change in our code this hack would no longer work:

<asp:Button ID="Button2" Text="alert me" runat="server" OnClientClick="alertMe(); return false;" />

and the JavaScript:

function alertMe()
{
    var theAlert = radalert("warning!");
    var overlay = theAlert._modalExtender._backgroundElement;
    overlay.style.opacity = 0.9;
    overlay.style.filter = "progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Alpha(style=0,opacity=90)";
}

Thanks.

Will see which fits best for us.

Unfortunately the latter is probably the best for us as we use and awful lot of other rad windows......

Thanks for your help.
