I have server side event handler for Exit button, and this does not close the window. What is the best way to close the designer window?

Here is my code for this.

protected void Exit_Report(object sender, StiWebDesigner.StiExitEventArgs e)
{
Guid Gkey = Guid.NewGuid();
String strScript = "window.close();";
ClientScript.RegisterStartupScript(Page.GetType(), Gkey.ToString(), strScript, true);
}

Hello,

Please describe your issue in more details.

Thank you.

I have a simple asp.net page where I have nothing but StiWebDesigner control. When user goes and select "Exit" from Menu, I simple want to window to close. But window does not close with the exit event handler code I have pasted above. Hope that helps.

Hello,

The window.close() method will close only the window that is opened by the window.open() method.
Otherwise, closing the windows allowed by the browser security policy.

Thank you.

Forgot to mention that reportdesigner is actually launched by window.open method.

window.open('/reports/reportwebdesigner.aspx?new=true&_id=' + msg.data);

I fixed this by putting the code in page load method. I am basically doing this.

if (Request.QueryString["stimulsoft_designerfx"] == "ExitDesigner")
ClientScript.RegisterStartupScript(typeof(Page), "closePage", "window.close();", true);
else
{
//load report designer.....
}
