Destroy a cfwindow

[Guest]

Hi all,

Given the trouble I mentioned in my "bind failed, element not found" post on 7/3, I'd like to just destroy a js-created cfwindow when it's hidden (using the onhide event), and create a new one each time. Does anyone know how to destroy a cfwindow. I would have thought it would be along the lines of:

ColdFusion.Window.getWindowObject('MyWindow').destroy();

But that doesn't work.

Thanks,
Russ

cose, very close!

from cf 8.0.1 release notes:

"You can now use the following ColdFusion AJAX JavaScript function,
which destroys a window instance:
ColdFusion.Window.destroy(windowName[, destroyElement])
- windowName The name of the window to destroy
- destroyElement A Boolean value specifying whether the HTML element
associated with the window should also be destroyed. The default value
is false."

this is only available in cf 8 Update 1 (cf8.0.1) - not in cf8.

Thank you so much, Azadi. I'll give that a shot.

I *am* running 8.0.1 and this does not work as expected. First time I open the window, everything works fine. Subsequent attempts to open other windows with the same name result in window title at the top and all else blank. I can still only use the window for the one attempt.

Here is my code:
<CFAJAXIMPORT TAGS="CFWINDOW">
...

try {
ColdFusion.Window.destroy('WindowName',true);
} catch(e) {}

...

ColdFusion.Window.create('WindowName', 'Window Title','[url here]', config_string);

...

Is anyone aware of further issues? Most of the information I have found predates 8.0.1...

I tried destroying a window and recreating to solve my original problem, after updating to 8.0.1, but it doesn't solve the problem (must be same old window).

You can only hide the window

ColdFusion.Window.hide('myWindow');

Try this way, works fine for me.

ColdFusion.Window.create(....);

ColdFusion.Window.onHide("windowName",function(){

                                                                           ColdFusion.Window.destroy("windowName")});
