Conflicting Widgets

RobertBrundage — Thu, 03 May 2012 15:18:25 GMT

Hey guys;

I am working on a dashboard scenario. I have created one Widget which is a series of radio buttons that turn on/off other widgets (the idea being that one click of the radiobutton will turn off all open widgets except for the radiobuttion selected widget.

This process is working just fine accept....

After clicking through the radiobuttons, one widget (which has 2 <viewer:WidgetTemplates) does not shut down all the way. The layers are removed and one of the WidgetTemplates gets closed, but the other WidgetTemplate is staying open.

Anybody got any ideas or a solution to this?

So.....Am I so far off base that my question is not worth responding to?

Same problem exists.

Robert,

You are likely running into a timing issue you can not just close multiple widgets in a loop you have to use a timer and delay the closing of the next widget by 700 milliseconds or more.
