[Solved] Window Manager Settings Ignored

[urbanBaldGuy]

I have a window manager on my page.  When I open the window the first time all of the default properties are enforced (behaviors, etc).

When I try to launch the window the second time none of the behaviors are enforced (there are no buttons at all).

Here is my javascript:

<script>
        function MenuClickHandler(argCommandName)
        {
            var oManager = $find("<%=rwmMainWindowManager.ClientID%>");
            switch (argCommandName)
            {
                case 'AddCustomer':
                    oManager.open('NewCustomer.aspx',argCommandName);
                    break;
                case 'AddUser':
                    oManager.open('NewUser.aspx',argCommandName);
                    break;
                case 'EditUser':
                    oManager.open('EditUser.aspx',argCommandName);
                    break;
                case 'MinimizeAll':
                    oManager.minimizeAll();
                    break;
                case 'Cascade':
                    oManager().cascade();
                    break;
                case 'Tile':
                    oManager().tile();
                    break;
                default:
                    alert("Invalid Command Specified - '" + argCommandName + "'");
                    break;
            }
        }

        function QuickNavHandler(sender, e)
        {
            MenuClickHandler(sender.CommandName);
            return false;
        }
        </script>

Here is the window manager:

<telerik:RadWindowManager ID="rwmMainWindowManager" runat="server" Skin="Vista" EnableEmbeddedSkins="True" DestroyOnClose="true"
        VisibleOnPageLoad="false" OffsetElementID="divWindowLoader" VisibleStatusbar="False" ReloadOnShow="True" />

This does not occur if I do not set "DestroyOnClose" to "True".

Hi urbanBaldGuy,

The problem you experience is exactly because of the DestroyOnClose = True. When a RadWindow is closed it is hidden but it is not destroyed so the next time you open it you see it with its settings. By setting DestroyOnClose to true the window object is destroyed and then when you try to open it there opens a new window with the default settings. Why do you need to the DestroyOnClose proeperty to be true? Please, provide more information so we can advise you in the right direction.

I understand that is how it work.  I would be okay with it if it would use the default settings.  However, none of the controls (Minimize, Maximize, etc.) show the second time.

I have changed my window manager to the following but it still does not use the "Behaviors"

<telerik:RadWindowManager ID="rwmMainWindowManager" runat="server" Skin="Vista" EnableEmbeddedSkins="True" DestroyOnClose="true"
        VisibleOnPageLoad="false" OffsetElementID="divWindowLoader" VisibleStatusbar="False" Behaviors="Maximize,Minimize,Move,Reload,Resize,Close" Width="600px" Height="400px" />

The reason I am using DestoryOnClose is that I don't like the refresh that happens when you don't.  Even if you have VisibleOnPageLoad="false" it still display then window and stalls for a few seconds.

Hello urbanBaldGuy,

Please, use the following way of opening the windows:

radopen('Default2.aspx', null);

In this way a new window is created each time and it will have the desired default settings.

That creates another problem.  I don't want people to be able to open multiple instances of the same window.  I have temporarily changed the destroyonclose property back to true.

Hi,

If you can send us a small sample project that reproduces your setup along with detailed information on how exactly you wish the RadWindow to behave with your logic, we will do our best to provide the most appropriate solution for your case.
