    This might be a little off topic, but would anyone know how to position a window (retrieved from the WindowManager) relative to the top viewable area?  


    Thanks,
    Stephen

    Thanks Shinu, but unfortunately this only answers part of my question.  The other part of my question is does someone know how to get the top position of the viewable area of the browser?  I want the title bar of the window to always be showing in the browser even if the user has scrolled down.

    Hello Stephen,

    You can reposition the RadWindow using moveTo() method of RadWindow client side object. Try out the follwoing code.

    [ASPX]
     
    <input type="button" id="test1"  value="Scroll"  onclick="ScrollView();" />   
    <div id="test" style="position:absolute;visibility:hidden; background-color:black; color: white"></div>  

    [JavaScript]
     
    <script type="text/javascript">  
    var doit;  
    var oWnd;  
    function ScrollView()  
    {  
        var title = "Title";  
        var link = "Window.aspx";  
        oWnd = radopen(link,null);  
        oWnd.set_title(title);  
        oWnd.add_close(OnClientClose);  
        if (document.all||document.getElementById)  
        {  
            doit=setInterval("Scroll()",100)  
        }  
    }  
    function Scroll()  
    {  
        var object=document.all?document.all.test:document.getElementById('test');  
        var iebody=(document.compatMode && document.compatMode != "BackCompat")? document.documentElement : document.body;  
        var left=document.all? iebody.scrollLeft : pageXOffset;  
        var top=document.all? iebody.scrollTop : pageYOffset;  
        if(document.all || document.getElementById)  
        {  
        object.style.left=parseInt(100+left)+"px";  
        object.style.top=parseInt(100+top)+"px";  
        object.style.visibility="visible";  
        oWnd.moveTo(object.style.left,object.style.top);  
        }  
    }  
    function OnClientClose(sender, eventArgs)  
    {  
        clearInterval(doit);  
    }  
    </script> 

    Thanks,
    Princy.

    Hello Stephen,

    I believe that the following Code Library article will be of help:
    http://www.telerik.com/community/code-library/aspnet-ajax/window/floating-r-a-d-window-on-page-scroll-window-stays-visible-during-scrolling.aspx

    function OpenWindow(name, url)  
    {  
        var manager = GetRadWindowManager();  
        var oWindow = manager.GetWindowByName(name);  
          
        oWindow.SetUrl(url);  
          
        oWindow.MoveTo(GetVisibleTop() + 20, 30);  
          
        oWindow.Show();  
    }  
     
    function GetVisibleTop()  
    {  
        var top = 0;  
          
        var appVersion = navigator.appVersion;  
        if (appVersion.indexOf('MSIE') > 1)  
        {  
            if (document.compatMode=="CSS1Compat")  
            {  
                top = document.documentElement.scrollTop;  
            }  
            else 
            {  
                top = document.body.scrollTop;  
            }  
        }  
        else 
        {  
            top = window.pageYOffset;  
        }  
          
        return top;  
    } 

    How would I get this working if I called OpenWindow from an OnClientClick of a asp:ImageButton?

    Hi Stephen,

    For your convenience I reworked the FloatWindow_Web_UI project from this Code Library page and attached it to this thread. You could use it as a base in your project.

    I hope this helps.

    Thanks, this was very helpful.  I do have one question about this solution... Why was a setTimeout required?

    Hi Stephen,

    Yes you are right, in the last provided floatwindow-web-ui.zip example you do not need to use the following part of the code:

    function InitWindow() 
    { 
        setTimeout(function() 
        { 
            var oWindow = stickyRadWindow;  // GetRadWindowManager().getActiveWindow(); 
            if (oWindow) // This is the right
            { 
                window.setTimeout(InitWindow, 500); 
            } 
            PositionWindow(); 
        }, 0); 
    } 

    because I disable the movable capability of the RadWindow - by using the following code :
    stickyRadWindow.set_behaviors(Telerik.Web.UI.WindowBehaviors.None); 

    In case that the RadWindow object is movable, and the client move it, you need to reset the position of the RadWindow. This is the main idea of using the InitWindow() function.

    I hope this answers your question.
