Minimize Window programatically?

[zuilin]

Is it possible to minimize a window programatically?

I can't find any calls to any functions with "minimize" in their names in CoreRPG. How does the radial minimize button do it?

Thanks.

The radial menus are built into the client. There is a windowinstance.minimize() API that hasn't been documented yet.

Interesting. Yes, .minimize() is there because I can call it on the image window from inside my toolbar. However, I get the error: "Unable to minimize; only top-level windows can be minimized."

I'm executing from a button in the image toolbar like this:


<toolbar_30 name="toolbar_ztrackpad_minimize" insertbefore="ztrackpad_k1">
<anchored to="toolbar_anchor">
<top />
<right parent="" anchor="right" offset="-10" />
</anchored>
<button>
<id>z_minimize</id>
<icon>zlogo</icon>
<tooltipres>z_tooltip_minimize</tooltipres>
</button>
<script>
function onButtonPress(id)
if id == "z_minimize" then
window.minimize();
end
end
</script>
</toolbar_30>



Thoughts?

That's correct. The toolbar window is not the top level window. You'll need to traverse to the top level window (i.e. "imagewindow" window class) before you can call .minimize().

I'll have to figure that out. Interesting that window.getImage() gives me the image but window.minimize() isn't the window I need. Time to learn about traversing the windows...

Got it!


window.parentcontrol.window.minimize()

Voila.
