How to close the WebDialogWindow from a server side function on the content page...
posted

I have seen post on this but nothing that explains in a simple way how this is done. My main page launches a modal WDW and in that ASPX page the user can click on a button "btnApprove". That button has a btnApprove_Click server side event in which I want do do this:

Protected Sub btnApprove_Click(...) Handles btnApprove_Click

 'MARK THE OBJECT AS APPROVED

myobject.Approve

'CLOSE THIS MODAL DIALOG

<< HERE IS WHERE THE PROBLEM IS ?? >>

Any straight forward simple steps would be great.

    It took me a while - I needed to do the same thing, but I tracked it down:

    Put this in your server side button event:

                    if (!ClientScript.IsStartupScriptRegistered("closeDialogWindow"))
                    {
                        Page.ClientScript.RegisterStartupScript
                            (this.GetType(), "closeDialogWindow", "closeDialogWindow();", true);
                    }               
                    break;

    And this in the page being refreshed:

            function closeDialogWindow() {
                var dialogWindow = $find('<%=dlgWindow.ClientID%>');
                dialogWindow.set_windowState($IG.DialogWindowState.Hidden);
            }

    This trick is that the function is only registered as an event when the button is clicked - and so long as you remove that reference in any other postbacks, its a one off action.
