Anyway to script opening a panel?

[brchapman]

Is there anyway to script opening an extension panel from js?

I'm currently developing a panel acting as a toolbox.

I'd like for the toolbox to be able to open Modal dialogs.

Looking through the Samples project I found the HTML Test Modal dialog which looks like what I want.

I just need a way to trigger the dialog to open.

I also would like to script closing the panel as well.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Brennan

From JavaScript? Yes; search the CEP_HTML_Test_Extension‌ you're already referencing, for 'requestOpenExtension'.

What would you like to do in your dialogs?

Awesome!

That accomplishes everything I'm looking for.

Thanks!

I've got another, related question for you. Is there a way to launch several panels into a new panel, docked together as tabs?

[Bruce Bullis]

One extension can provide a UI with multiple tabs.

Multiple extensions can be opened and docked into an Adobe app's Workspace. You could save a Workspace with all panels configured, to your liking.

There is no way to 'force' one independent extension, to open as a tab in another extension.
