Hello,

I think you missunderstood my explanation. Previously, You asked if this can be done on the fly.
The answer is no because WebDesktopManager does not have any properties or method to process FlyPostBack in serverside.
However, you can create a new window from server side only if you do FullPostBack mode.
Please see my attached sample. I created a window from single asp.net button (server side).
You can see that it requires FullPostBack.
If you want to have a flypostback, you will need to use client side approach.

Handy

So there is no way to create a new window from server side code? I am using MSChart and want to create a new window based on a click of a graph.

Hello,

I think it could not be done this way. As far I know, WebDesktopManager does not have any FlyPostBack response or process.
So, if you would like to create the window at server side, you will need to do it FullPostBack.
But regarding this scenario, I suggest you to handle it via clientside.
In clientside, you can freely to create or close a window.

How do I create a window from another window on the fly.

Here is what I have in my class, I can reference the WebDesktop, but it is not working. It doesn't error out... just no window shows up.

Public Sub BuildActiveWindow(ByVal ssName As String, ByVal ssURL As String, ByVal ssCaption As String, ByVal ssWidth As Int32, ByVal ssHeight As Int32, ByVal ssAllowMinimize As Boolean, ByVal ssAllowMaximize As Boolean, ByVal ssAllowResize As Boolean, ByVal ssAllowClose As Boolean, ByVal ssControlBoxImage As String, ByVal amaPage As Web.UI.Page)

MainDesktopManager = amaPage.Session("MainDesktopManager")
Dim isWindow As ISNet.WebUI.WebDesktop.WebDesktopWindow
Dim aFound As Boolean = False
For Each isWindow In MainDesktopManager.Windows
If isWindow.Name = ssName Then
aFound = True
Exit For
End If
Next
If aFound = False Then
isWindow = New ISNet.WebUI.WebDesktop.WebDesktopWindow
isWindow.Text = ssCaption
isWindow.Name = ssName
isWindow.ControlBox = ControlBox.Yes
isWindow.ControlBoxImage = ssControlBoxImage
isWindow.ContentMode = ContentMode.UseIFrame
isWindow.ContentURL = ssURL
isWindow.ShowInTaskBar = True
Dim vSize As System.Drawing.Size = New System.Drawing.Size(640, 480)
isWindow.MinimumSize = vSize
Dim isSize As System.Drawing.Size = New System.Drawing.Size(ssWidth, ssHeight)
isWindow.Size = isSize
If ssAllowMaximize = True Then
isWindow.AllowMaximize = AllowMaximize.Yes
Else
isWindow.AllowMaximize = AllowMaximize.No
End If
If ssAllowMinimize = True Then
isWindow.AllowMinimize = AllowMinimize.Yes
Else
isWindow.AllowMinimize = AllowMinimize.No
End If
If ssAllowResize = True Then
isWindow.AllowResize = AllowResize.Yes
Else
isWindow.AllowResize = AllowResize.No
End If
If ssAllowClose = True Then
isWindow.AllowClose = CloseMode.Yes
Else
isWindow.AllowClose = CloseMode.No
End If
isWindow.ClientVisible = True
MainDesktopManager.Windows.Add(isWindow)

Else
End If
End Sub
