Closing task window manually

[Sam]

I'm sure there has to be an easy solution for this. My requirement is that I need to manually close the Task window when you click on a task within Javascript. The window doesn't appear in the list of controls using $telerik.radControls library. If anyone knows how to do this, it would be much appreciated.

By the way, I can hide the element but because it is modal, it still disables everything so I need to get the object of the window and call the close method on the object unless there is a global way to close the active window. Tried using window manager and closeAll but that doesn't work either.

I ended up removing each element from the dom like below

                    $telerik.$(".k-widget.k-window.radSkin_Silk").remove();
                    $telerik.$(".k-overlay").remove();
The problem I'm thinking is that the actual objects might not be removed from memory or the telerik's control collection. Also, this seems to run the risk of removing the wrong element. If anyone has a better option, please let me know.

Hi,

You can use the following internal API to close the task edit window:

$find("RadGantt1")._widget._editor.close()

Once again, thanks Bozhidar. Alternatively, can you manually open a task window?

Hello,

You can call _widget.editTask(uid), where uid is the unique id of the task you want to edit.
