Close a5w page in tabbed_ui

[Peter.Greulich]

I have a grid w.a n action button:

{grid.Object}.closeCurrentTabbedUIPane();

That used to work until I put the grid on an a5w page. What, pray tell, code do i need to close the page in the tabbed_ui?

I'm sure I've done this before but I can't find a code sample.

Not sure if this is your exact scenario, but define your own function and call it from the button instead.
If there is no tabbedUI object in the current window, then check in the parent window instead.

function myCloseCurrentTabbedUIPane() {
  if(typeof tbiObj != 'undefined') {
      //standard close
    closeCurrentTabbedUIPane();
  } else {  
      //close in parent window
    var idx = window.parent.tbiObj._tbObj._curTabIndx;
    window.parent.tbiObj._tbObj.remove(idx);
  }
}

Peter,

This works but it closes all open panes: window.parent.tbiObj.closeOpenPanes()

There's probably another method for just closing the current Pane but I can't find it so quickly right now

Andy,

That is a truly inspired piece of code!

Thank you sir.

Thanks Frank. I use that for my "close all". See Andy's function above. Works perfectly.

You're welcome Peter. I notice you're in Boston so maybe we'll meet this summer? Alpha's survey today asked about attending a conference this summer in Boston: seen that ? I really need to drive a car once in Boston,once heard it is not your everyday experience ?

Re: Close a5w page in tabbed_ui

I'm afraid I didn't receive any survey (as usual).

Here is how I learned to drive in Boston - the first time I went in (age 16?), I was trying to change lanes but no one would give me any space to do so. So I closed my eyes and turned the wheel into the lane* - and Voil�! It worked.

A conference in Boston? In the summer?

If this true, I cannot wait!!

Re: Close a5w page in tabbed_ui

It was in the v12 beta survey. Boston here we come!

Re: Close a5w page in tabbed_ui

See you in Boston, Frank (and Gary).

v12 beta survey - hhmm..?

Re: Close a5w page in tabbed_ui

No probs Peter.
I guess for completeness, you should replace the "else" with:
else if(typeof window.parent.tbiObj != 'undefined') {

Nice code Andy, I have saved it for my future reference.

Peter, the v12 beta survey was in my junk mail because it was from surveymonkey.com, just found it and filled it in. Bit silly in places, there is a question with replies Yes/No/Other. I filled in other, the survey wouldn't commit until I also added either yes or no!!

Lance, isn't there this saying "if you pay peanuts you get monkeys?"

But I like peanuts.
