Window control

[grumbachr]

I am trying to control the opening and closing of windows in my db.

In the solution I am developing I have a script that opens a new window/layout to pick from a small list records, the next script step closes the new window you just made your choice from and it is supposed to take you back to the main parent window and complete the rest of the script. But it only works because I know what the window name should be.

Script Steps

Close Window [Current Window]

Select Window [Name "database name"]

Perform Script [" Next Script Steps "]

I have it all working fine but found one step that is less than perfect.

I have a 2nd copy of this db for development and testing, I have renamed it database_DEV

The script step is broken because it is set to select a window with a predefined name. Is there a way I can control with better? I want it to just go back to the parent db without having to know the name of the window. Is there a calculation that will tell one window what window it was created from?

( I hope I explained that well enough )

If the script that created the new window is called from the "parent db" window, you could set a global to Get ( WindowName ) and then at the other script after the window for choosing is closed choose a Select Window script step set to this global. I prefer to just close the top window and let the next window below become active. It is what most users see in other programs anyway.
