Send value from child window to parent

Joe

I need to popup a window, allow the user to select an image, update the
parent window with this new value (requires a refresh) and then close the
child window.
Are there any examples of something similar to this?

Thanks,
Joe

If you use JavaScript to open a new window via the window.open method, you
can refer to the "parent" window via the window.opener object...

Hi Joe,

Basically, you will need to use JavaScript to open the new window, from the
new window, you can use 'window.opener' to reference the parent window and
make the parent page reload or navigate to another location.

In your case, I understand the popup window will let the user select an
image and the image will be needed to show on the parent with a reloading,
depend on your implementation detail, you could either reload the parent
page with a QueryString parameter (to the new image name) or first save the
new image name in backend (from the client page with a postback of this
page) and reload the parent page.

You can find an example to how to reload the parent page from the popup
window:

The easy way to turn off automatic updates for Windows 10/11

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
