Trouble closing window opened in another window

[Dana Cobb]

I have an asp.net form that opens a radwindow which has a navigateUrl of another asp.net form. I will call this "window1". Next I want to open a second window from window 1, called "window2". All this works great. My problem is that I want to close "window2" without closing window1 ! I have tried numerous examples from the forum, but cannot seem to get it working. When it does anything at all it closes both window1 and window2...Now for some code that I am using...
Code that opens window1:

Dim script As String = "function f(){$find(""" + Me.daypopupwindow.ClientID + """).show(); Sys.Application.remove_load(f);}Sys.Application.add_load(f);"
        ScriptManager.RegisterStartupScript(Page, Page.GetType(), "key", script, True)

code that opens window2:

function openAddWindow() {
                  var oBrowserWnd = getRadWindow().BrowserWindow;
                setTimeout(function () {
                    oBrowserWnd.radopen(null, "jobpopupwindow");
                }, 0);
                }

Currently I am trying to close window2 with an html button calling a javascript function, but ideally it would be called from the code-behind.
If I use this function it closes both windows:

function closeActiveWindow() {
                var oWin = getParentRadWindow();
                oWin.close();
            }

If I use this code, I get a "GetRadWindowManager()undefined" error

function closeThisWindow() {
               var omanager = GetRadWindowManager();
               var ownd = omanager.getWindowByName("jobpopupwindow");
               ownd.close();
           }

Please help. I have tried so many things. It seems that geting a reference to the RadWindowManager on the first main page, then referencing a particular window and then calling close makes the most "sense", but I can't seem to get the reference to the manager from window2.

Hello Dana,

Closing a RadWindow from the page loaded inside is shown in this online demo: http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-ajax/window/examples/contenttemplatevsnavigateurl/defaultcs.aspx. Take a look at the second one that loads a page and at the page itself - Dialog1.aspx. It shows the two JavaScript functions that close it upon a button click. You can use the same approach and call the function from the code-behind instead: http://www.telerik.com/help/aspnet-ajax/window-troubleshooting-javascript-from-server-side.html (you would not need the Sys.Application.Load event in this case).

I am not sure what your getParentRadWindow() function does, but if you want to close it through its parent manager you can use its API - call a function on the main page (http://www.telerik.com/help/aspnet-ajax/window-programming-calling-functions.html), get a reference to the manager and use its own API (http://www.telerik.com/help/aspnet-ajax/window-programming-radwindowmanager-methods.html) - getWindowByName() and then close() it. What it seems is that right now you call the closeAll() method of the RadWIndowManager or perform a postback that disposes the RadWindows.


All the best,
