Close button on minimized widget

RhettZufelt — Thu, 13 Dec 2012 00:30:39 GMT

Anyone know how to keep the close button (black X) on a widget when minimized?

I would like to be able to close the widget from the minimized state. Currently, one has to full size it, then can be closed.

Any idea?

Thanks,

Rhett,

That would involve a lot of changes to the WidgetTemplateSkin.mxml in the transitions section. I don't have the exact changes for you but that is where to begin.

Thanks again for pointing me in the right direction.

I will see what I can figure out.

Well, this was pretty confusing, but turns out in the end, it's pretty simple.

All I did was make the following changes to the WidgetTemplateSkin.mxml.

 <s:Group id="headerToolGroup"
    height="30"
    right="70" top="0"
    alpha.closed="0"
    includeInLayout.minimized="false"
    visible.minimized="false"
    visible.open="true">
  <s:layout>
   <s:HorizontalLayout paddingLeft="10"/>
  </s:layout>
 </s:Group>
 
 <s:Group id="minclose"
    height="30"
    right="3" top="0"
    includeInLayout.minimized="true"
    visible.closed="false"
    visible.minimized="true">
  <s:layout>
   <s:HorizontalLayout gap="2"
        paddingLeft="2"
        verticalAlign="middle"/>
  </s:layout>
  <mx:Image id="minimizeButton"

and it works.
