Add draggable and resizable to dialog

I would like to move dialog (because there is some content behind I need to see in order to fill form in dialog).

It would also be great if it could be resizable. If you have an input component inside dialog, you could set width to 100%.

Hi David,

As noted in a private thread, the team has already reviewed both items and decided against implementing them separately. At the time, it was more practical to pursue a single component that consolidates their functionality.

Currently, no update or rework of the Dialogs package is planned, but you can still add modality to the Window as the following article demonstrates:

https://www.telerik.com/kendo-angular-ui/components/knowledge-base/add-modality-to-window

In case Angular service is used, check this example:

Why can you not implement this feature request or the one to add modality to the Window?  You declined both.  We would like to have a dialog that is draggable and resizable like the Window component but have it be a Modal like the dialog.  Any solution for this?

Probably this is understandable, since window dialog is more suitable.

But I agree with @Christoph and open new feature request: modal property for window dialog.

Hi Matjaž,

We added how-to articleс that demonstrate a way to achieve modality for the Window:
https://www.telerik.com/kendo-angular-ui-develop/components/dialogs/window/how-to/add-modality-to-window/

and how to dynamically re-position the Window:
https://www.telerik.com/kendo-angular-ui-develop/components/dialogs/window/how-to/dynamically-reposition-window/

The articles are still just in our dev site, but will be move to the official one once they pass all our internal checks.

We have similar problems in our projects (s.a. existing feature requests ;-) - perhaps it's time to merge window and dialog component? In general, a dialog is nothing more than a window with "modal=false", "backdrop=true", "alwaysTop=true", "resizable=false". Having those fine-grained options on WindowComponent would be very cool and then a window could replace the DialogComponent.

Hi, I know, but it is missing modal function. I need dialog. I don't care if it is window or dialog component, as long as it is resizable, dragable, on modal.

Hi Matjaž,

The design of the Dialog component does not allow it to be movable and/or resizable. Instead, we could use the Window component, which in turn provides these features:
