Close/destroy widget A from widget B on clear button

naveenbesri

Hi All,

as per our requirement we will be performing some operations in both widget A and widget B.

after that when we click on clear button in widget B then widget A needs to close and get destroy so that performed operations on widget A needs to get cleared. 

 

Kindly do the needful

 

Thanks.

@naveenbesri Here is some code I use to open an off screen widget.

define([
...
'jimu/WidgetManager',
    'jimu/PanelManager',
    'dojo/_base/array',
  ],
function (
...
WidgetManager, PanelManager, array
  ) {
...

postCreate: function () {
...
this.wManager = WidgetManager.getInstance();
        this.pManager = PanelManager.getInstance();
      },

_openAboutWidget: function () {
        if (this.wManager) {
          var widgetCfg = this._getWidgetConfig('About');
          if (widgetCfg) {
            var aboutWidget = this.wManager.getWidgetByLabel(widgetCfg.label);
            if (aboutWidget) {
              this.wManager.openWidget(aboutWidget);
              this.pManager.showPanel(aboutWidget);
            } else {
              this.wManager.loadWidget(widgetCfg).then(lang.hitch(this, function (widget) {
                if (widget) {
                  this.wManager.openWidget(widget);
                  this.pManager.showPanel(widgetCfg).then(lang.hitch(this, function (panel) {
//Move the widgets position back to on screen
                    panel.setPosition({
                      top: 45,
                      left: 55
                    });
                    this.pManager.normalizePanel(panel);
                  }))
                }
              }));
            }
          }
        }
      },

      _getWidgetConfig: function(widgetName) {
        var widgetCnfg = null;
        array.some(this.wManager.appConfig.widgetPool.widgets, function(aWidget) {
          if(aWidget.name == widgetName) {
            widgetCnfg = aWidget;
            return true;
          }
          return false;
        });
        if(!widgetCnfg) {
          /*Check OnScreen widgets if not found in widgetPool*/
          array.some(this.wManager.appConfig.widgetOnScreen.widgets, function(aWidget) {
            if(aWidget.name == widgetName) {
              widgetCnfg = aWidget;
              return true;
            }
            return false;
          });
        }
        if(!widgetCnfg) {
          /*Check OnScreen groups widgets if not found in OnScreen widgets*/
          array.map(this.wManager.appConfig.widgetOnScreen.groups, function(aGroup) {
            array.some(aGroup.widgets, function(aWidget) {
              if(aWidget.name == widgetName) {
                widgetCnfg = aWidget;
                return true;
              }
              return false;
            });
          });
        }
        return widgetCnfg;
      },
