How to prevent widget to be destroyed when popup closed

[MaximeDemers]

I have a widget that is using the jimu/dijit/Popup class. I have noticed that when the popup is closed with the X button or with the close() method, the widget is automatically destroyed and cannot be accessed from the WidgetManager anymore.

Is there a way to prevent the widget to be destroyed when the popup is closed?

Maxime,

   Not that I know of. Opening a widget inside a jimu popup is very unconventional. The popup will always destroy on close.

Ok thank you for your answer. Then, I'll use hide() instead for the X button
