Strange RadWindow Issue

[Sean]

Hey all, I am just asking here in the event that anyone else has encountered this issue.

I have a MaterPage that contains a user menu. Most of the links load another .aspx page, but a few of them open RadWindows. I have had this configuration for a while, and it has been working fine during my development.

Suddenly, a day or so ago, the radopen method does not appear to find the window desired. It loads the correct page, but all of the window settings (Skin, Height, Width, etc) are set to a default view (100 x 100?). It is completely baffling me.

To make it MORE confusing, on this master page I have a user control that loads a list of logged-in users. Clicking the username opens the user profile in a RadWindow... THIS one works just fine. The only difference is that the UserControl holds everything to call the profile window and the Master page has the other ones. Below is the master page and javascript calls.

I would note that I have the 2008 Q2 release of the ASP.NET Ajax control suite.

Thanks!

Hi Sean ,

I tested the provided code but I was not able to reproduce the problem - please examine the attached test project. The RadWindow shows as expected, with the set skin and sizes.

That is why I assume that the problem comes from some other code in your original project, e.g another RadWindowManager with a RadWindow with the same name declared, etc. Since I am not able to examine the problem locally, I cannot tell you its particular reason.

Would you please either modify the attached project or prepare a new, reproduction one, which is fully runnable? Once you have done this, open a new support ticket and send it to me along with a detailed explanation of the reproduction steps, some screenshots and the information about the used browser? Once I receive this information, I will do my best to help.

So I have done a bit more checking. I have a UserControl that is loaded into the master page. The master page has a RadWindowManager with two RadWindows. The UserControl has a radWindowManager with a single window.

the master page looks like:

        <telerik:RadWindowManager ID="radMasterManager" runat="server">
            <Windows>
                <telerik:RadWindow runat="server" ID="winNewGame" Width="600" Height="700px" Skin="Telerik"
                    ShowContentDuringLoad="false" ReloadOnShow="true" Left="200px" Top="10px" Title="New Game Submission">
                </telerik:RadWindow>
                <telerik:RadWindow runat="server" ID="winDice" Width="450" Height="520px" ReloadOnShow="true"
                    ShowContentDuringLoad="false" Left="200px" Title="Dice Roller" Skin="Telerik"
                    Modal="false" VisibleStatusbar="false">
                </telerik:RadWindow>

            </Windows>
        </telerik:RadWindowManager>

The UserControl looks like:

        <telerik:RadWindowManager ID="radOnlineUserManager" runat="server">
            <Windows>
                <telerik:RadWindow ID="winUser" runat="server" ShowContentDuringLoad="false" Skin="Telerik"
                    Height="800px" Width="705px" Top="2px" Left="255px" ReloadOnShow="true" VisibleStatusbar="false">
                </telerik:RadWindow>
            </Windows>
        </telerik:RadWindowManager>

In this configuration, the userControl renders corrctly, but neither of the master page windows render as desired. IfI hide the user control, the master page windows then render fine.

I moved the UserControl window to the master page and adjusted my window.radopen to read:

window.parent.window.radopen("OnlineUsers.aspx", "winUser") and all windows render correctly.

Is this a known issue?

Thanks for listening!

Hi Sean,

Yes, as Svetlina said, when you have multiple RadWindowManagers on the page, such behavior can occur. The reason for it is that radopen, radprompt, radconfirm and radalert use the first rendered RadWindowManager on the page and every RadWindowManager "knows" only about the RadWindows that are declared in it. That is why in scenarios like these, it is better to use the ASP.NET AJAX's find() method to get a reference to the control and then to use RadWindow's client-side API (setUrl(), show()) to open it.
