Hi,

Do you get any exceptions? Please confirm whether you destroy the window instance is same as the one to open the window

Hi Goutam,

Once you open the window from the 1st application are u storing the window context in the conponent controller?

Else you will not have the handle of the window and u cannot close it.

try this. on action of the element which opens the window, store the window context:

1. Create a context Attribute in the component controller

2. The type of the attribute of type IWDWindowContext under Java native type

3. Once you click on the button of the 2nd window, get the window context attribute in the 2nd window using the component controller

4. Close the window

Eg: -

Before opening First Window:

IWDWindowInfo windowInfo = (IWDWindowInfo)wdComponentAPI.getComponentInfo().findInWindows("<WindowName>");

IWDWindow window = wdComponentAPI.getWindowManager().createModalWindow(windowInfo);

wdContext.currentContextElement().set<AttributeName>(window);

window.show();

On Closing Second Window:

IWDWindow window = wdContext.currentContextElement().get<AttributeName>() {Bind the attribute to the controllers Attribute};

window.destroyInstance();

Hope this helps u.
