Differentiating a normal window from a popup window.

[Suma]

Hi all,

Is there any way from which we can find out if a window is opened as a modal
window or as a normal window?

I have a screen which opens as a normal window in one case and in other case
it opens as a modal window.
I want to differentiate these two conditions.

TIA.

On the client, you can use JavaScript to check the "opener" property of the
window. A window spawned by another window has an "opener" that is a window.
If it was not spawned by another window, the 'Opener" will be null.

Try using window dialogArguments property. It applies only to windows
created by showModalDialog and showModelessDialog methods. When you open the
page in a modal window, pass something in this parameter. Otherwise leave it
null.

Wouldn't be surprised to see better solutions.
