Close widget programatically

SandraPanicucci

I've set up my search widget to find a parameter from the URL and zoom to that feature. Once that goal has been accomplished I would like the widget to close automatically. Can it be done? Other option is changing all the pass parameters through URL into the mapManager and I;m trying not to go backwards from where I'm at.

Beautiful! 🙂 Thank you and sorry for not mentioning what library I was working in in the first place.:)

Sandra,

Yep that makes a difference:

import com.esri.viewer.BaseWidget;

private function CloseMe():void
   {
    var data:Object =
    {
     id: this.widgetId,
     state: BaseWidget.WIDGET_CLOSED
    };
    ViewerContainer.dispatchEvent(new AppEvent(AppEvent.WIDGET_STATE_CHANGED,data,null));
   }

1120: Access of undefined property widgetStates.

I'm using the 2.1 library if that makes a difference.

Try this:

import com.esri.viewer.WidgetStates;

private function CloseMe():void
   {
    var data:Object =
    {
     id: this.widgetId,
     state: WidgetStates.WIDGET_CLOSED
    };
    ViewerContainer.dispatchEvent(new AppEvent(AppEvent.WIDGET_STATE_CHANGED,data,null));
   }

I'm attempting to call it from within the search widget.

Sandra,

Are you not calling this code from inside a widget? If not than you need other code to get this to work.

When I add these lines I get the error message in the attachment which generally seems to mean I need an import statement but don't seem to be able to figure out which one I need here. Any clue would be greatly appreciated.

Sandra,

If you are calling the code from within the widget than just use

        widgetState = WIDGET_CLOSED;
        notifyStateChanged(WidgetStates.WIDGET_CLOSED);

Rene; Thanks for responding.

Where did you implement this code? Have made several attempts and not come up with the right answer. THough it looks like it shouldn't be as hard as I'm maknig it.

This thread covered how to close multiple widgets
http://forums.arcgis.com/threads/25015-Closing-Multiple-Widgets

But my post in there should work to close a single widget.
After that, it requires a little more work.
