[Solved] Trying to integrate MDI demo and RadSkinManager chooser..

[Tom M]

Greetings,

I am trying to integrate the MDI Demo and the RadSkinManager chooser. The issue I am currently facing is that when windows are open and I change the skin, the windows dissapear. The RadSkinManager mark-up for the window manager is...

<telerik:RadWindowManager ID="RadWindowManagerMain" runat="server"
                           RestrictionZoneID="center"
                           Behaviors="Close, Maximize, Minimize, Move, Resize"
                           KeepInScreenBounds="true"
                           VisibleStatusbar="false"
                           EnableShadow="true"
                           Animation="Fade"
                           AnimationDuration="300"
                           AutoSize="false"
                           VisibleOnPageLoad="false"
                           IconUrl="../CSS/titlegraphic.gif"
                           ShowContentDuringLoad="true"
                           OnClientDragStart="WindowDragStart"
                           OnClientCommand="OnClientCommand"
                           OnClientActivate="OnClientActivate"
                           OnClientClose="OnClientClose"
                           EnableViewState="true">
</telerik:RadWindowManager>

I am not sure what I am missing or if I should expect this to work at all? Any help or insight would be greatly appreciated.

Kind Regards,
Tom

Hi Tom,

In the MDI demo, the RadWindow objects are created dynamically on the client - that is why when you make a postback, they disappear. Currently RadWindow does not preserve its state when created dynamically - there is an EnableViewState property for the RadWindowManager, but it affects only RadWindows that are created on the server and when enabled, only the properties that are set from the server are preserved.
