How to show/reload Desktop window after CloseAction="Close"?

[Kamal]

Hi everyone,

I am opening a desktop window and loading another aspx page in Iframe. Then closing the window by clicking on X. I would like to reload/show the window without any postback.

Is that possible?

Thanks for your help in advance,

Kamal

Hi Kamal,

The following example demonstrates several techniques for showing a Window if closed, see https://examples1.ext.net/#/Window/Basic/Show/


Hope this helps.

Hi Geoffrey,

I looked at the sample but it does not work. I have a desktopwindow which I set CloseAction to 'Close'. It seems I need to postback the page which I intend not to do! However, I was able to display the window after closing it IF I create the window in a dynamic way which is not a problem at all.
Can I call the method from DesktopModule?

<ext:DesktopModule ModuleID="DesktopModule1" AutoRun="false" >


<Launcher Handler="createW(#{Desktop1})" ID="Launcher1" runat="server" Text="Edit Data" Icon="DatabaseEdit" />





</ext:DesktopModule>

It throws an error message if I call it from Launcher. any idea?

many thanks for your advice.

Hi Kamal,

Setting CloseAction="Close" will destroy the Window when it's closed. The defaut value is CloseAction="Hide" which will allow the same Window object to be re-shown if closed. Once destroyed, the Window is no longer available to script against.


See docs http://extjs.com/deploy/dev/docs/?cl...er=closeAction


Hope this helps.

Hi Geoffrey,
You are right! Thank you so much for the link.

My intention is to destroy the window and reload it. So, I followed the practice below:

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: 1000, height: 500,


maximizable: true, minimizable: true, 


autoLoad: { url: "Default2.aspx", 


mode: "iframe", showMask: true, CloseAction: "Close", CenterOnLoad: "true"


}


});


w.center();


w.show();

And in my item menu I call the following handler:

<ext:MenuItem ID="menueditdata" Text="Edit Data" Icon="DatabaseEdit">


<Listeners>





<Click Handler="createW(#{WMDDesktop1})" />


</Listeners>


</ext:MenuItem>

It works fine. The only problem is that I can not call the function from <module>. I think i can live without it for now! :-)

Many thanks for your help.
