Hi friends and experts, in particular ScriptUI guru Peter Kahrel: In my script FMfindRepl (for FrameMaker) I have noticed that win.close() closes the palette window leaves its status active any Nofify reaction addressing an element of the UI will re-open the panel. Hence I have changed in the Notify function if (wPalF.active) { .. to If (wPalF.visible) { ... IMHO close() should inactivate a window - but there are comments in various forums about the close() issue which lets me assume that something is incorrect with this method. → What is your opinion/knwledge about this issue?

Hi friends and experts, in particular ScriptUI guru Peter Kahrel:

In my script FMfindRepl (for FrameMaker) I have noticed that win.close()

closes the palette window
leaves its status active
any Nofify reaction addressing an element of the UI will re-open the panel.

Hence I have changed in the Notify function

if (wPalF.active) { ..

to

If (wPalF.visible) { ...

IMHO close() should inactivate a window - but there are comments in various forums about the close() issue which lets me assume that something is incorrect with this method.

→ What is your opinion/knwledge about this issue?

Probably tagging @Peter Kahrel would be a good idea to notify him that there is call for help. I have not worked on Framemaker and did not have much to work with the close method apart from using it just for what it should do so I have nothing much to add here.
