Pop-up form sending data to the calling form?

With ASP.NET 2.0

I want to add a nice and sleek feature to my application where the user
typical clicks a button to open a smaller window to enable a search, lets
say for customers or products or whatever.

So far this is easy by adding a script tag and window.open with appropriate
settings.

The challenge comes when the user has searched and selected his item, and
clicks [Ok] in this popup form.
How do I return the values to the calling form, into the appropriate
textboxes?

If this cannot be done directly on the client side, I think this may be done
with a postback of the caller form, but then; how do I force a callback of
the first form (the caller form) when the secondary (the pop-up) closes?

(And yes, I know the search issue can be solved with hiding/showing panels
or views on an asp-form, but I would like to simulate a more windows like
behaviour, if possible)

Hello,

maybe my blog post helps you

ASP.NET: How to create a postback on a main page from a popup window
http://aspadvice.com/blogs/joteke/ar...6/15/2340.aspx

Basically you can just set them with script, but you can also do it via
postback. Per my sample, it's totally up to how the script on the main page
is generated.

Thanks. I have saved your blog to my favorites and will try it out later.
It explains a lot, so I think it will be very useful.

I would like to open an exit pop when a user leaves my site, but I don't want to the back button to trigger the pop if the user remains in my site.

Howdy Folks, I was just playing around in IDLE at the interactive prompt and typed in dir({}) for the fun of it. I was quite surprised to see a pop method defined there. I mean is that a misnomer or what? From the literature, pop is supposed to be an operation defined for a stack data structure. A stack is defined to be an "ordered" list data structure. Dictionaries in Python have no order but are sequences. Now, does anyone know...

As said before I'm new to programming, and I need in depth explaination to understand everything the way I want to know it, call it a personality quirk ;p. With pop() you remove the last element of a list and return its value: Now I know list is a bad name, but for the sake of arguement lets assume its not a built in sequence> 'example'
