Closing a kendoui window with custom Close button within the window

Question

I\'m using Kendo UI\'s window component, which is similar to any modal dialog.

I have a close button in it, how do I close the window upon clicking that button (instead

Answer 1

Basically you already know how to close the window - you need to do it with the close method of its API.

$("#window").data("kendoWindow").close();

But in order to attach the handler to the button inside of the view you need to wait until the content is loaded - you need to use the refresh event.

e.g.

$('#theWindowId').data().kendoWindow.bind('refresh',function(e){
    var win = this;
    $('#close').click(function(){
         win.close();
    })
})
