onClose event

Hello,

I have detected two ways to calling events:

onMoveFinsih event:

        if (win.checkEvent("onMoveFinish")) {
            win.callEvent("onMoveFinish",[win]);
        } else {
            this.callEvent("onMoveFinish",[win]);
        }

onClose event:

        if (win.checkEvent("onClose")) {
            if (!win.callEvent("onClose", [win])) return;
        } else {
            if(!this.callEvent("onClose", [win])) return;
        }

The onClose event has an if-return statement, why is it? I must return true in my event handler...

The result of onClose event control behavior of window.
If your custom code attached to onClose event returns
  true - window will be closed
  false - window will not be closed

Hi

I try to use this behavior in my script:

I have a button which opens a window. The content of this window is an attached div where I place dynamic html which should not be lost.
When the user click on this button the window is opened, then he clicks on the Close button to hide the window without destroying it.
When he clicks on the button for the second time, the window is shown.


                if (!dhxWins.isWindow('project_description')){
                        dhxWins.createWindow('project_description', 100, 100, 500, 400);
                        dhxWins.window('project_description'            ).attachObject('project_description_div', true);
                        dhxWins.window('project_description'            ).setModal(false);
                        dhxWins.window('project_description').button("close").attachEvent("onClose", function(win) { win.hide(); return false;});
            }else{
                dhxWins.window('project_description').show();
            }

The theory is great but it doesn't work.
'project_description' is not a window after onClose is triggered, dhxWins.isWindow returns false and a second window is created with js errors.

Why ?

Oups!

The correct line is:

dhxWins.window('project_description').attachEvent("onClose", function(win) { win.hide(); return false;});

It works well.
