Multiple Kendo windows
From: Cary Abramoff

Hi,

I have a need to have multiple windows interact.

The problem is, unlike your RadWindows for Ajax which will always be on top after receiving a mouse click, not so with the Kendo UI windows.

I will explain.

I open window A.

Window A launches window B.

Window B is UNDER window A.

I have written JQuery to search for the divs with the k-window classes, find the title span, and set the z-index behaviors I want but this is not as elegant as the behavior of your own RadWindows in the Telerik Ajax suite which I use on my other big ASP.NET project.

I believe your windows need to do 2 things for official v1 release.

A- Minimize

B- Whenever a window receives focus it should have the highest z-index. 

Thanks!!

Cary

Looking at the source for telerik.window.js and kendo.window.js it seems like kendo.window.js is missing bringToTop() function that adjusts the zIndex and also around lines 516-527 kendo.window.js is missing the same checks that telerik.window.js does (around #419) that adjusts the zIndex for modal windows.

I just hit this bug too while migrating an app from using Telerik MVC Extensions to Kendo UI. Both RadWindow and Telerik MVC Window behave properly but not Kendo UI. Considering that Kendo UI is based on the Telerik MVC Extensions, I believe this is an actual bug with Kendo UI. Removed 2 of my votes to vote for this to bug get hopefully fixed.
