Closing RadWindow using RadButton

I'm trying to use a RadButton to close a radwindow from with the window itself (via javascript). Is it possible to call a script to close the window? Here is the javascript:

function getRadWindow() 
{
  var oWindow = null;
  if (window.radWindow) oWindow = window.radWindow;
  else if (window.frameElement.radWindow) oWindow = window.frameElement.radWindow;
  return oWindow;
}

function closeWindow() 
{
  getRadWindow().close();
}

And here is the button:

<telerik:RadButton ID="CancelButton" runat="server" OnClick="closeWindow();" CssClass="clicker" Text="Cancel" UseSubmitBehavior="False" EnableEmbeddedScripts="false" CausesValidation="False" RegisterWithScriptManager="False">
</telerik:RadButton>

I have tried everything, the script will only work if I use a pure HTML element such as an anchor tag. If I use the OnClick event I get the following error when the window opens: Compiler Error Message: CS1026: ) expected.

Am I missing something?

Thanks!

Solution

  • The way to call a function from the RadButton is by using either its OnClientClicked or OnClientClicking event. Then you need to pass only the name of the JavaScript function, without parenthese. OnClick is a property for the server handler, this is also the case with the regular asp button. Try this:

    <telerik:RadButton ID="CancelButton" runat="server" OnClientClicked="closeWindow" AutoPostBack="false" CssClass="clicker" Text="Cancel" UseSubmitBehavior="False" EnableEmbeddedScripts="false" CausesValidation="False" RegisterWithScriptManager="False">

    Note the AutoPostBack property is set to false to prevent the postback.
