    Hi Kamal,
    Thats for sure,
    check the Desktop example, there is a clientside javascript function that doing the same and opening external url inside desktopwindow (iframe mode)

    function createDynamicWindow (app) {
            var desk = app.getDesktop();


            var w = desk.createWindow({
                title: "Web Browser",
                width: 1000,
                height: 600,
                maximizable: true,
                minimizable: true,
                autoLoad: {
                    url: "http://ajaxian.com/archives/mad-cool-date-library/",
                    mode: "iframe",
                    showMask: true
                }
            });


            w.center();
            w.show();
        }
    you can do the same and change url to the path of your aspx page

    RE: Open other ASPX pages in one Desktop windwo

    Hi Bassel,
    Thanks for your prompt reply. I tried the following code but it is not working. it throws an error message and does not create the window.
    On each ASPX page I have a DesktopWindow and would like to open them in my master page.
    I tried the following code and did not work. Do you know why? i am sure i am missing something!!
    


<asp:Content ID="Content3" ContentPlaceHolderID="ContentPlaceHolder1" Runat="Server">


<script type="text/javascript">


function createW(app) {


var desk = app.getDesktop();


var windows = desk.getManager().getBy(function() { return true; });


var title = 'Opened windows: ' + (windows.length + 1);


var w = desk.createWindow({ title: title, width: 500, height: 500,


maximizable: true, minimizable: true,


autoLoad: { url: "C:\MallDB\Pages\Sampling\Default2.aspx",


mode: "iframe", showMask: true}


});


w.center();


w.show(); 


} 


</script> 


<ext:Desktop ID="Desktop1" runat="server" Wallpaper="../../App_Themes/Theme/Images/bg/goldbg.jpg">


<StartButton Text="Start" />


<StartMenu Width="325" Height="300" ToolsWidth="125" Shadow="true">

</Listeners>


</ext:MenuItem>

</Menu>


</ext:MenuItem>

    RE: Open other ASPX pages in one Desktop windwo

    Hi Kamal,

    you can't use local path to aspx page like you do in this line:

    autoLoad: { url: "C:\MallDB\Pages\Sampling\Default2.aspx"

    the path should be virtual path like or apsolute path.
    either relatively to the location of your current page or apsolute path that starts with
    http:// server name / ../default2.aspx

    RE: Open other ASPX pages in one Desktop windwo

    Thanks Bassel, Now I can display other pages inside my desktop. but I am facing another problem. my Default2.aspx page does not fit inside the page, I have to minimize it and then maximize it to fill the screen. Is there any automatic way which force the page to fit the window?

    thanks.

    Hi Kamal,
    you better start checking all methods and properties in the API before you continue your project ;)

    the Desktop window has a method that you can call at the server side and client side:
    window.maximize();

    RE: Open other ASPX pages in one Desktop windwo

    thanks for your help. The problem was in the css file.
    Now i can open my pages in different desktop windows. Does it effect the memory if I open 5 or 6 pages in 5-6 desktop windows? Do i need to destroy them? If I need to destroy them, how I can do it?

    Thanks for your help,
    Kamal
