Hello,

I want to close a dialog. The follow script does not do this. I get always the "window is open"-message. Whats wrong?

dialog create,dialog1,0,0,0,0,Class dialog1
if @winexists(dialog1)
window close,dialog1
window hide,dialog1
if @winexists(dialog1)
dialog close
if @winexists(dialog1)
info Window is open
end
end
end

This should work for you. The problem was that if you send a CLOSE command to a VDS script, it will be stored in @event(). TO read it you should have a kind of :Evloop (Event-loop)...

If this is the only dialog in use, then you must use "EXIT" or "STOP" to
end your program.

If this is a second dialog from your main dialog, then

DIALOG SELECT,1
DIALOG CLOSE
%E = @event()

will do the job. If you are trying to use the DIALOG CLOSE on your
main window, then this is not going to work. If you don't want the
main dialog showing anymore, then use

WINDOW HIDE,#dialog1

And if you need to bring it back, use

WINDOW NORMAL,#dialog1
