closing all widgets

JohnGarvey — Fri, 20 May 2011 22:43:11 GMT

I have added a close all button to flexviewer. So far, I can close all the widget, but the widget boxes remain on the screen even though they are empty.

Mu approach has been to create an AppEvent to close all and have the widget manager
1:catch the event, 2:iterate the widget table; 3:simulate the close button's click event on the template and 4:set the widget state to "closed"

Maybe I am going the wrong way, any suggestions?

John,

Are you dispatching this event?

var data:Object =
            {
                id: yourwidgetsid,
                state: WIDGET_CLOSED
            };
        ViewerContainer.dispatchEvent(new AppEvent(AppEvent.WIDGET_STATE_CHANGED, data));

Yeah. The widget dispatches an AppEvent to clear all. The widget manager then

var widgetsArr:Array=widgetTable.toArray();
    var len:uint=widgetsArr.length;
    for(var i:uint=0;i<len;i++){
     
     var data:Object =
      {
       id: widgetsArr.widgetId,
       state: WIDGET_CLOSED
      };
     ViewerContainer.dispatchEvent(new AppEvent(AppEvent.WIDGET_STATE_CHANGED, data));
    }

This doesn't seem to work
