This causes some empty space to remain at the bottom of the dialog. Possible workarounds are: - set the VIsibleStatusbar property of the RadWIndowManager to false, if all your RadWindows need no statusbar; or at least to the concrete instance. - OR, use the following script that will improve hiding the status bar element and resizing the content: oWnd = window.radopen(pageURL, winName); //will work for classic rendermode oWnd.set_visibleStatusbar(false); //will work for lightweight. In classic jQuery will not throw exceptions because of the element it cannot find $telerik.$(".rwStatusBar", oWnd.get_popupElement()).hide(); var contentElem = $telerik.$(".rwContent.rwExternalContent", oWnd.get_popupElement()); contentElem.height(contentElem.height() + 20);
