[SOLVED] how to close a non modal window

[sadams54]

I am bringing up a non modal window from code. Sometime later I need to close the non modal window from different code. I just can't figure out how to do this. I tried fWindow.close and no go.

sorry, I solved it myself but here is the answer....
I created a sub to find the window and close it

Code: Select all

Sub KillLCarsVisual()
  Dim D As Window

  For Each D In Windows
    If d.Name = "FLCARSVisual" Then 
      d.Close
    Endif
  Next
  
End

It''l depend on the window creation method to use Close() on the object.

for example

Using
fWindow.Show()
statically to open it should then let you use
fWindow.Close()


But this method for example...

Public Sub MakeWin()

  Dim hWin As fWindow = New fWindow
  hWin.Show()

End

With the above method you will have to use hWin.Close not fWindow.Close but hWin is local to the MakeWin() Function so you would have to use the method you have already come up with.

'

But Then this method should work...

Private hWin As fWindow

Public Sub MakeWin()

  hWin = New fWindow
  hWin.Show()

End

With the above method hWin.Close should work as hWin is a global variable of the open window
