Hello everyone,

I am trying to open a RadWindow from a custom field type and return a value from the user. The window is supposed to be opened from the custom field (see openSearchDialogButton below) that is implemented as a user control (CustomControl.ascx in ControlTemplates). The code for this control is encapsulated in an assembly deployed to the GAC.

The user control is defined as follows:

    
            <%@ Control Language="C#" Debug="True" %> 
        
            <%@ Assembly Name="Pl.ContractCenter, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=1d55543c9f6e51cd" %>

            <%@ Register TagPrefix="SharePoint" Assembly="Microsoft.SharePoint, Version=12.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c" namespace="Microsoft.SharePoint.WebControls"%>

                </body> 
        
            </html>

Finally, the code-behind for the page:

    
            public class SearchCompanyForm : Page { 
        
                    protected ObjectDataSource odsCompany; 
        
                    protected void RadGrid1_ItemDataBound(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e) { 
        
                        try { 
        
                            if (e.Item is GridDataItem) { 
        
                                var hyperLink = (e.Item as GridDataItem)["CompanyNo"].Controls[0] as HyperLink; 
        
                                if (hyperLink == null) 
        
                                    return; 
        
                                hyperLink.NavigateUrl = "#"; 
        
                                hyperLink.Attributes.Add("OnClick", String.Format("javascript:returnToParent({0}); return false;", hyperLink.Text.Trim())); 
        
                            } 
        
                        } catch (Exception exception) { 
        
                            Console.WriteLine(exception.Message); 
        
                        } 
        
                    } 
        
                    protected void searchButton_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { 
        
                        odsCompany.Select(); 
        
                    } 
        
                }

Clicking the GridHyperLinkColumn returns the selected value as an argument to returnToParent.
The problem I am facing is that the call to radopen fails with the error "radopen is not defined" (Firebug). While I've got this working in a standard ASP.NET project it just won't work with SharePoint. Any clues?

Thank you

Steve

Hello eSGe,

If I understand the problem correctly, you get the error when you click the openSearchDialogButton link, is this so?
<a runat="server" ID="openSearchDialogButton" onclick="openWin(); return false;"><img src="/_layouts/images/gosearch.gif" runat="server" id="imgSearch" border="0" alt="search" /></a>

I am asking this because your code looks OK. We also ran it in MOSS and everything worked as expected - RadWindow was opened without errors.

In general, an error like the one that you report could happen if you don't have a RadWindowManager present on the page when you call radopen(), but in your scenario you already have the RadWindowManager on the page and you don't call radopen() while the manager is still not initialized (another common cause for this error - usually happens when radopen() is called from the server).

Hello Steve,

At this point I really cannot tell what the reason for the problem might be. Could you please check if the page loads OK? I mean if there is some JavaScript error on the page (should be visible in the Firebug console) this might prevent the rest of the JS code from working as expected. Another thing that you may try is to put a standard button and try to call the window from there.
e.g.
<button onclick ="openWin(); return false">test</button>
