Closing Windows in Dexterity

Hi,

I am developing a Customization in Dexterity which consists of a functionality behaving like a wizard. I have thus created a Form having several Windows. I am trying to close and open each successive windows in the Wizard using the following code:

open window 'MySecondWindow' of form 'MainForm';

close window 'MyFisrtWindow' of form 'MainForm';

Meanwhile, when using these statements no forms are opened after executing the code.

Nevertheless, if I only include the first statement (i.e. open window 'MySecondWindow' of form 'MainForm';), the Second form does open, but the First form obviously remains opened.

I have also tried to hide the First form by using hide window 'MyFisrtWindow', but this also does not work (the window remains opened).

Thank you.

Regards,

Joseph

RE: Closing Windows in Dexterity

When you close the main window of the form (the first window in the list) the form will close automatically. That's what's happening when you try to open the second window and then close the first window.

The common solution to this problem is to create a "Dummy" window that is the first window on the form. Set it so that it is not Auto-Open. When the form opens, this window won't be displayed. You should be able to open and close the other windows in the form, but the form will remain open until you close it explicitly.
