What is the proper way to access a window from and Angular Controller

[Kelly]

I have a window that I'd like to toggle open and closed from a controller but since kendo creates it's windows outside of the body tag I cannot reference it using $scope.myWindow. What is the best way to access this window from a controller?

Hello Kelly,

See this Dojo snippet for a demo of referencing the window from a scope method.

Does this work when you include a window with ng-include or if you are trying to call a window from an included html snippet?

Examples:

1.
<ng-controller>

<open window command />
<ng-include "window" />

</ng-controller>


2.
<ng-controller>

<ng-include "window open inside this code" />
<window />

</ng-controller>

Hello Kelly,

A more appropriate way to achieve this would be to have a hollow window around the ng-include. This way the open button will not trust blindly that the include includes the window, and the include will contain only the inner logic. Placing the window in an ng-include might register it in a child scope, thus it will be unavailable to outside widgets.

Is there a possibility to make it work using ng-include? Iam asking because I would like to have 2 views:
First with grid and data
Second with kendo window that opens whenever I add/edit grid row.
In second view I want to define what fields are present in window and whats the width and heght of that window. ( using k-content: {url: ...} is not a option for my case )

No, using a ng-include creates another scope, so the window is not usable in the controller. Use one of the solutions outlined in the thread.
