window.radopen with preset size?

[Chris Gårdenberg]

Hi,

I use the radwindow to show detailed views of the data in a grid, but I want to set the popups in a preset size, so it doesn't open up a small 200x200px window and then resizes to the content size.

Can I use something like:
window.radopen('url_goes_here', 'window_name_here', width_goes_here, height_goes_here)
or
window.radopen('url_goes_here', 'window_name_here', 'width=width_goes_here,height=height_goes_here')

Didn't find anything in the forum or documentation.

Hello Chris,

You can use the ASP.NET AJAX $find() method to get a reference to the RadWindow on your page. Now you can use the client-side properties and methods  to manipulate the windows in the browser

Please take look at these documentations.

RadWindow Methods

Thanks,
Shinu.

Hi Shinu,

Thanks for the suggestion, but the problem I have is when I open the window. It resizes just fine after it's opened, but I have to make sure the window is opened with the size parameters, so the user won't see the animation or flickering of the resize.

Hi Chris,

What Shinu suggested is to open a specific RadWindow, by getting a reference to it, set its properties and show it after that.
e.g.

function showWin()
{

    var oWnd = $find("<%= RadWindow1.ClientID %>");
    oWnd.setUrl("http://google.com");
    oWnd.setSize(600, 300);
    oWnd.show();
}

Currently, there is a small glitch in that funcitonality, as the window is shown in the top left corner of the page, but this will be fixed with the next update.

Hi Georgi,

Yes, that approach works fine when I have a predefined window, but this window opens with window.radopen

And the most preferable solution would be to be able to use window.radopen('http://www.google.com', null, 800, 600);
This is because we must be able to open more than one window at the same time.

Hi Chris,

Thank you for the suggestion. Currently, this is not possible but I logged it as a new feature request in our PITS and updated your points.
Here is a direct link to the PITS item:

By the way, regarding the glitch I talked about in my previous reply, we found out what is causing the problem and although the internal logic cannot be changed, you could avoid it by switching the steps - you need to first set the size of the window object and then set its Url.
e.g.

function showWin()
{

    var oWnd = $find("<%= RadWindow1.ClientID %>");
    oWnd.setSize(600, 300);
    oWnd.setUrl("http://google.com");
    oWnd.show();
}

All the best,

Instead of this :
window.radopen('url_goes_here', 'window_name_here', width_goes_here, height_goes_here) 

try this:
window.radopen(url_goes_here, window_name_here).setSize(width_goes_here, height_goes_here)

Thank you Nishant! Your .setSize(W,H) worked perfectly!

Hi guys,

Since Q1 2013 this functionality is built-in in the RadWIndowManager control. You can read more about it here: http://www.telerik.com/help/aspnet-ajax/window-programming-opening.html and test it live here: http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-ajax/window/examples/radopen/defaultcs.aspx.
