Hi @Manan Joshi , I want to do the same. I use this script but the function execute after close the panel but I want to close the panel after my function.


(function() {  

  'use strict';  

  var csInterface = new CSInterface();  

  var keepAlive = new CSEvent("com.adobe.InDesignPersistent", "APPLICATION");  

  keepAlive.extensionId = "com.adobe.ImportExport.panel";  

 
  new csInterface.addEventListener("com.adobe.csxs.events.panelWindowVisibilityChanged",

  function(event) {  

    alert('Window Visibility1: ' + event.data);  
   
  }
 
  );  
 
  csInterface.dispatchEvent(keepAlive);  
}());

Thanks you Manan for your valuable reply.

I have tried some events but it fails. I am in need for indesign.

"com.adobe.csxs.events.WindowVisibilityChanged" -  the event is not invoked.

var csInterface = new CSInterface();
csInterface.addEventListener("com.adobe.csxs.events.panelWindowStatusChanged", closePanel);

function closePanel() {
   alert("close");
   //write logic here
}

The closePanel function is not invoked.

Thanks.

Are you set persistent in your extension?

I tried below and works fine in my environment.

(function() {  
  'use strict';  
  var csInterface = new CSInterface();  
  var keepAlive = new CSEvent("com.adobe.InDesignPersistent", "APPLICATION");  
  keepAlive.extensionId = "<com.example.myextensionID>";  
  csInterface.dispatchEvent(keepAlive);  
  new csInterface.addEventListener("com.adobe.csxs.events.panelWindowVisibilityChanged",
  function(event) {  
  alert('Window Visibility: ' + event.data);  
  }
  );  
}());
