What is the best method to load a Window with detail view content from a Grid?

[Brad Sumner]

I'm trying to use the Window control with a Grid control to create a Master/Detail view but I'm not sure what the best method is for updating the content of the Window control using ajax.   The LoadContentFrom method works fine when loading once but I'm not sure what the best method is to load from client script as you switch between records on the Grid.  It looks like there is a client side ajaxRequest method for the Window control but I'm not sure how or if it should be used.  Is it best to just use the jquery load method once you have a handle on the content div within the Window (http://www.telerik.com/help/aspnet-mvc/using-with-partial-views-loaded-via-ajax.html#jqueryajax)?
 
Thanks,
Brad

I think I also have this issue now, I want to have users click on a row in a Grid and my telerik modal window will update itself based on the new ID paramter based on the row they selected.
I do not see the ability to update a paramter, do I have to use an IFrame as a work around and if so how would that work?  What are possibly solutions to this please?

That's one of my requests to the development team to have an option to refresh dynamically the content of a Window

And I see here that I am not the only one with this need
For the moment, I just created a javascript function that I am calling when needed

 

function open(newTitle, newContent, newContentUrl)
{
  $("#ModalWindow .t-window-title").html(newTitle);

  var window = $("#ModalWindow").data("tWindow");

  if (newContent !== null)
  {
     $("#ModalWindow .t-window-content").html(newContent);
  }
  else
  {
     window.ajaxRequest(newContentUrl);
  }
   window.open();
}

Thanks for the script, works great.

I modified the script a little bit to be:

function

 

 

openWindow(title, contentUrl)

 

{

      $(

 

"#ModalWindow .t-window-title").html(title);

 

 

 

 

      var window = $("#ModalWindow").data("tWindow");

 

 

 

 

      if (window != null)

 

      {

         window.ajaxRequest(contentUrl);

         window.open();

      }

}

It works great for the first time it opens the modal window. However, after I close the window then I try to open the window for the second time it does not work. I stepped through the javascript and $("#ModalWindow").data("tWindow") does not exist anymore thus it won't open.

This is the window:

Html.Telerik().Window()

.Name(

 

"ModalWindow")

 

.Title(

 

Utilities.GetResourceString("Terms"))

 

.Draggable(

 

true)

 

.Resizable(resizing => resizing

.Enabled(

 

true)

 

.MinHeight(250)

.MinWidth(250)

.MaxHeight(800)

.MaxWidth(1000)

)

.Modal(

 

true)

 

.Buttons(b => b.Maximize().Close())

.Width(400)

.Height(500)

.Visible(

 

false)

 

.Render();

What went wrong? When I close the window does it destroy the tWindow as well? if so, how do I create it back?

Thanks.
