Positioning

You can dynamically adjust the position of the Window by using its API.

Usually, it is preferable to center the Window rather than open it near the HTML element which is used to define its content. Often, the Window is opened as a result of a user action rather than of the load event of the page. Basically, the widget can be initialized as non-visible and can be opened when needed.

Centered Window

The following example demonstrates how to center and open a Window component with a button click. If the Window's content is loaded through AJAX, the centering occurs after the request is complete.

    @(Html.Kendo().Window()
        .Name("window")
        .Title("Centered Window")
        .Visible(false)
        .Width(200)
        .Height(200)
        .Content(@<text>
                Window content here.
        </text>)
    )

    @(Html.Kendo().Button()
        .Name("button")
        .Content("Open Window")
        .Events(e => e.Click("onClick"))
    )

    <script>
        function onClick(e) {
            var win = $("#window").data("kendoWindow");
            win.center().open();
        }
    </script>

Custom Positioned Window

To set a custom position of the Window, use the Position() option.

@(Html.Kendo().Window()
    .Name("window")
    .Title("Custom Positioned Window")
    .Position(settings =>
        settings.Top(50).Left(100)
    )
    .Content(@<text>
        Window content here.
    </text>)
)
