Flex widget visible set to false, after that cannot visible again

LiYao — Tue, 18 Nov 2014 07:50:24 GMT

Hi all,

I have a flex widget, after click a button the widget will be hidden and another widget will be loaded.

But after that even I click on the widget in the menu, the widget will not appear.

The code for hide the widget is as follows:

query.visible = false

What should I do for enable the visibility of the widget?

I am using arcgis api for flex 3.6.

Thanks a lot!

Li Yao,

This is how you are suppose to close a widget:

var widgetId:Number = ViewerContainer.getInstance().widgetManager.getWidgetId("Title of Widget");
AppEvent.dispatch(AppEvent.WIDGET_CLOSE, widgetId);

Thank you very much Robert, unfortunately by using getWidgetId, no error but no response.

May I confirm the title of widget refers to the title "Attribute Search" in the below picture?

I try different numbers instead of widgetId, it works, but still want to why getWidgetId not working.

Thanks a lot!

Li Yao,

Can you show me your main config.xml where this widget is listed?

Hi Robert,

The widget group listed in the config.xml is as follows:

<widget label="Turn On/Off Map Service"

icon="assets/images/turnOnOff.png"

config="widgets/MapService/TurnOnOff/TurnOnOff.xml"

url="widgets/MapService/TurnOnOff/TurnOnOff.swf"/>

<widget label="Attribute Search"

icon="assets/images/i_search.png"

config="widgets/MapService/AttributeSearch/AttributeSearch.xml"

url="widgets/MapService/AttributeSearch/AttributeSearch.swf"/>

<widget label="Attribute Search Results"

icon="assets/images/i_search.png"

config="widgets/MapService/AttributeSearchResults/AttributeSearchResults.xml"

url="widgets/MapService/AttributeSearchResults/AttributeSearchResults.swf"/>

</widgetgroup>

Thanks a lot.

Li Yao,

So this code should close your widget then:

var widgetId:Number = ViewerContainer.getInstance().widgetManager.getWidgetId("Attribute Search");  
AppEvent.dispatch(AppEvent.WIDGET_CLOSE, widgetId);

Do you have these two imports in your widgets code?

import com.esri.viewer.AppEvent;
import com.esri.viewer.ViewerContainer;
