Flicker when hiding and maximizing windows in Firefox

[Raheel Ashraf]

This is the problem I am seeing, specifically with firefox - Working fine in IE8.

Scenario:

Basically I have bunch of windows (each window is displayed as maximized) and only one window is display at a time.

We have some buttons at the top of the page, to open the corresponding window. For instance:

Window1 , Window 2 , ...

when Window1 is clicked, it display Window 1 and when window2 is clicked, it ....All  of this is handled in the client side javascript code...

Code:

    

// windowName is name of the window to be displayed

   function displayWindow (windowName)  {

   var manager = GetRadWindowManager();

    

    var currentActiveWindow = manager.getActiveWindow();

    var current =  manager.GetWindowByName(

windowName

);

    // allWindows is the array that contains all window names    

       

    for(counter =0; counter < allWindows.length;counter++)

    {

        if(allWindows[counter] != 

windowName

)

        {

            manager.GetWindowByName(allWindows[counter]).hide();    // << Problem occurs here

        }

    }

      

    

    current.show();

    current.maximize();

Problem:

The problem seems to occur on the line I have indicated in the code. So for example, if Window1 is currently being displayed and I switch to window2, when it tries to hide window1, I see a little flicker in firefox, where I see a glimpse of window2 at the bottom and then its shown as maximized..

this solution worked for me..

// windowName is name of the window to be displayed

   function displayWindow (windowName)  {

   var manager = GetRadWindowManager();

    

    var currentActiveWindow = manager.getActiveWindow();

    var current =  manager.GetWindowByName(

windowName

);

    current.moveTo(0,0);

    current.maximize()

    current.show();

    // allWindows is the array that contains all window names    

       

    for(counter =0; counter < allWindows.length;counter++)

    {

        if(allWindows[counter] != 

windowName

)

        {

            manager.GetWindowByName(allWindows[counter]).hide();    // << Problem occurs here

        }

    }
