RadWindowManager Client-side API

  • Demo Configurator
Methods openning RadWidnowManager dialogs
Methods affecting all managed RadWindows
Methods affecting the active RadWindow

In Telerik UI for ASP.NET AJAX, the RadWindowManager is not mandatory to be present on the page in order to show a RadWindow. Using the RadWindowManager however, is still a convenient way to declare common properties for all RadWindow that will be created with it or are already declared in its Windows collection.

On the client-side, the RadWindowManager takes care of:

  • creating and opening new windows
  • taking care of the radalert, radconfirm and radprompt dialogs - you must have a RadWindowManager control on your page in order to show these dialogs.
  • providing a reference to a RadWindow
  • group functions to allow RadWindows' manipulating at once (for example - minimizing, restoring or maximizing all RadWindows on the page)
  • DefaultVB.aspx
  • scripts.js
  • styles.css
