Using telerik window to display data from another view?

Has anyone tried this and know if it's possible or not?

What I want to do is when they are on the Index page where they can view all the content they are able to click "Edit", when they do the telerik window will pop up with the view from /edit/1 inside of it so they can edit it.

window.open(...)

You can do this. The telerik window extension allows you to pull data from an external page.

See the following:

In your case you would load the content from an action method like so:

@{ Html.Telerik().Window()
        .Name("Window")
        .LoadContentFrom("Edit", "Controller")
        .Render();
}

However, to get it to to render a specific edit page you have to pass in a parameter. In that case you would want to use client side events

Have you considered using a grid to show your data? Take a look at this example (change the edit mode to popup and hit the apply button)
http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-mvc/razor/Grid/EditingAjax?theme=vista

it uses a telerik grid, but the edit button pops up the edit form in a telerik window.
