Destroying Preview Window on Close

[Chris]

I have a FileExplorer that I've tagged some extra functionality on so that the preview window loads larger and is resizable. However, when I close this window, it is not destroyed and continues to lurk in the background. I want to destroy it so that if I go to open another window, that window will be the active one and pick up where the previous one left off.

Here is the code I am using for the extra properties, found in another thread:

function OnExplorerFileOpen(oExplorer, args)
{
    if (!args.get_item().isDirectory()) {
        setTimeout(function ()
        {
            var oWindowManager = oExplorer.get_windowManager();
            var previewWindow = oWindowManager.getActiveWindow();
            oWindowManager.add_show(addShowHandler);
            previewWindow.setSize(800, 500);
        }, 100);   // Some timeout is required in order to allow the window to become active

        // destroy code will go here I hope?
    }
}

This is wired to the OnClientFileOpen event on my FileExplorer.

Thanks,
Chris

Hi Chris,

You can set the DestroyOnClose property to the RadWindowManager integrated in RadFileExplorer using the following code:

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    RadFileExplorer1.WindowManager.DestroyOnClose = true;
}

When this property is set to true, the RadWindow's object will be destroyed upon close.
