How to determine if Window is open

[ScopiaRx_CTO]

I need to check if the Window is already open, since calling open again on a centered window that has been dragged re-centers it.  What's te best way to determine if the window is already open?

Hello Karl,

To determine whether a given Window widget is opened or not, you may check if it is hidden.

var wnd = $("#window").data("kendoWindow");
wnd.element.is(":hidden"); //returns true or false

Does this really work? It's always false.

Hello Jarno,

Could you please provide a small Kendo Dojo sample which demonstrates your exact scenario?

Hi Jarno,

In your case there is no need to check if the Window is opened or not, instead may directly call the close() method of the widget. The widget will check internally if it is currently opened or not and will handle the action accordingly. You should to check only if the widget is initialized. Please see the code sample below.

function closeWindow() {
  var wnd = $("#sample-wnd").data("kendoWindow");
  if (wnd) {
      wnd.close();
  }
}
