How can we close the window using a button in applet?

I have a close button in my applet which should close the browser from where the application is launched. Can somebody post a sample code for doing the same?

I'm afraid I don't have any sample code, but I can describe a possible solution.
1. Retrieve the JSObject via Application.[url http://docs.oracle.com/javafx/2/api/javafx/application/Application.html#getHostServices%28%29]getHostServices().[url http://docs.oracle.com/javafx/2/api/javafx/application/HostServices.html#getWebContext%28%29]getWebContext()
2. Use the JSObject to manipulate the JavaScript into closing the Window.

How to close Browser by using a button

I want to close my browser window using a button in ADF JSF Page.
How it can be done .... ?
Regards
MS Arain

Thanks to all of you i got a hint from your guys which resolve the issue
however i want to share how i have resolved this issue i may be wrong
or there may be any easy alternative that is why i am sharing it.
I adopted the following steps
1. Add a New Command Button in my JSF Page
2. Attached a client listener with the command button
<af:commandButton text="Close & Exit" id="cb8">
<af:clientListener method="closeWindow" type="action"/> ---// This is the attachment syntax
</af:commandButton>
3. Define a closewindow java script as follows
<af:resource type="javascript"> --// this is how we declare/define java script in ADF
function closeWindow(actionEvent) {
window.close();
</af:resource>

Close external window using Button

Hi all,
I have implemented a Web Dynpro application which runs in a portal. It opens in a separate browser window.
Now I have to implement a "close" functionality inside this application, which closes the window when the user clicks on a Button (or LinkToUrl -- never mind).
What would be the best way to implement this on NetWeaver 2004s?
Regards,
Martin

HI,
You can use an external html file to close window.
Looks like your trying to close window from that window itself.
then create an close.html file and put it into mimes folder
access this file
String url = WDURLGenerator.getAbsoluteWebResourceURL(wdComponentAPI.getComponent().getDeployableObjectPart(),"close.html");
wdThis.wdGetViewController().wdFirePlugExit(url);
in close.html write a javascript which contains following function
<html>
<SCRPT LANGUAGE='JavaScript'>
function win_close()
window.parent.opener = top;
window.parent.close();
window.opener.close();
</SCRPT>
<body onlod='javascript:win_close()'>
</body>
</html>

Close Browser Window with view button element when view embedded into fpm

Hi,
is it possible to build a button into a component view which is embedded into a fpm to close the browser window?
tried to build a exit plug within the view/window of my component. But nothing happened. the window stays open
Maybe is it an option to fire the fpm close plug of the fpm from my component view embedded into the fpm?
Hope you can help me.
Using the close button of the fpm is not an option because the window should automaticaly close when clicking on a button embedded into my component view.
Kind Regards
Rico

Hello,
one more question.
Is it possible to change the method. so that the fpm opens within the same browser window instead of a new one?
Maybe is there a solution with the portal?
This is the Method to create a new Shopping cart. This opens a new browser window.
method /SAPSRM/IF_CLL_DOM_SCW_FIN~CREATE_NEW_SHOPPING_CART.

How to display a pop up window using a button redirect to a page ?

Hi
I have a button who redirect to a page of the application and this button passes a few items using the URL parameters
(Optional URL Redirect).
I would like to display the new URL page in a pop up window, with the items set properly
Where do I put the "target = _blank" instruction ?
Thank you for your answers !
Regards,
Christian

Christian,
I'm not sure you can use a button like that, at least not without creating a custom button template, but then it wouldn't really be a button anymore. The standard popup function in ApEx is html_PopUp. It's signature is:
html_PopUp(pURL,pName,pWidth,pHeight,pScroll,pResizable)
It essentially encapsulates a call to window.open and can be called from a button with:
javascript:html_PopUp('http://www.google.com');
If you want to learn more do a Google search on "javascript window.open".

Close browser window using FPM

Hi all,
My requirement is to close the browser window on click of a button in the webdynpro component.
I have triggered FPM event gc_event_close in after action of that view.
The window gets closed perfectly if I execute the application from SE80.
But the window is not getting closed when I run the application from portal, instead I get a message saying' The application is closed, you can now close the window'
Any pointers on closing the browser window when the application is run from portal would be of great help.
Thanks in advance.
Veda

I can confirm this behavior. You can change this behavior by adding code in process_event method.
1. Fire a portal event with
"urn:com.sapportals:navigation", "CloseWindow", ""
OR
1. Fire a Exit plug with close_window = abap_true

MacBook Pro won't close have to use power button

My Mac won't turn off. Desk top is blank with mouse cursor showing. Will only quit using the power button.
I have run the FSCK as David Pogue suggests, ran Disk Utilities from the Install disk but no change.
Anyone have any similar problems or better yet a fix?
Jerry

This is usually caused by a process that is hung so the system cannot shut down. Very difficult to determine what may be the cause as almost anything could be at the root of the problem, and you cannot monitor what is happening after you select Shut Down.
If the computer goes to sleep without the same problem, then it's not likely due to programs you have running, although that is still possible. A running program may have corrupted cache files preventing it from properly quitting.
You could start by installing the freeware utility called AppleJack - VersionTracker or MacUpdate. Read the documentation carefully to learn how to use it as it requires booting into single-user mode and running it from the command line. It's pretty easy to use as it will run automatically.
I would also suggest the following:
Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger and Leopard.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer. Now restart normally.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior (4.0 for Tiger, and 4.1 for Leopard) and/or TechTool Pro (4.6.1 for Leopard) to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
If these don't resolve the problem then you may have corrupted system files that are preventing proper shut down. In this case you will need to reinstall OS X:
How to Perform an Archive and Install
An Archive and Install will NOT erase your hard drive, but you must have sufficient free space for a second OS X installation which could be from 3-9 GBs depending upon the version of OS X and selected installation options. The free space requirement is over and above normal free space requirements which should be at least 6-10 GBs. Read all the linked references carefully before proceeding.
1. Be sure to use Disk Utility first to repair the disk before performing the Archive and Install.
Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported, then quit DU and return to the installer.
2. Do not proceed with an Archive and Install if DU reports errors it cannot fix. In that case use Disk Warrior and/or TechTool Pro to repair the hard drive. If neither can repair the drive, then you will have to erase the drive and reinstall from scratch.
3. Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When you reach the screen to select a destination drive click once on the destination drive then click on the Option button. Select the Archive and Install option. You have an option to preserve users and network preferences. Only select this option if you are sure you have no corrupted files in your user accounts. Otherwise leave this option unchecked. Click on the OK button and continue with the OS X Installation.
4. Upon completion of the Archive and Install you will have a Previous System Folder in the root directory. You should retain the PSF until you are sure you do not need to manually transfer any items from the PSF to your newly installed system.
5. After moving any items you want to keep from the PSF you should delete it. You can back it up if you prefer, but you must delete it from the hard drive.
6. You can now download a Combo Updater directly from Apple's download site to update your new system to the desired version as well as install any security or other updates. You can also do this using Software Update.

Opening a url in new window using a button after running a process

I need the folowing to happen:
When a button is clicked, a process runs - updates a table in the DB. then a URL opens in a new window.
I created the process and related it to the button - click of the button makes it work.
If I write in the button properties the URL - optional URL redirect:
javascript:popupURL( 'http://www.mysite.com');
the process does not run. url opens in new window.
If I create a branch - writing there javascript:popupURL( 'http://www.mysite.com'); the process works but URL does not open. only writing http://www.mysite.com works - but it does not open a new window.
The question is: how can I click on a button, make a process run and URL opens in a new window?

If you post your page, then the browser must go some place. You can post your page (say page 1), you can then branch to page 2, then the js on page 2 can open a new window. Once you post your page you must goto another page before you can open a new window.
Perhaps what you want is to press a button on a page and have it do work without posting the page, e.g. make an AJAX request, and then based on that work popup some corresponding page.

How to open an URL and close the URL window, using adobe javascript

Hi,
Is it possible to open an URL and close the URL back again(without allowing the user to perform any other operation)? I was able to acheive the opening of the URL, using the app.launchURL("address". true); - But here it lauches in new window, and how do i close the window using the javascript. Is it possible?
Thanks.

Hi all
In addition to what Bobby W - Adobe TS added, you might find
the following useful as a bypass or workaround to the pesky prompt.
var pw=window.parent;pw.opener=window.self;window.open("
http://www.adobe.com");
pw.close();
I think this will only work for IE browsers. Actually, I
think the whole window.close() only works for IE, but could be
wrong about that.
Cheers... Rick

How to Close external window?

Hi Experts,
1) For one of the development requirements, I am required to open my application in
external window. For the same, I have changed the property of the iView and page to
launch the iView in an external window and not to display in content area. Now, I am
able to display the application in a new window as per the requirement.
Now, I want to close this window from a button event on the screen, but can't find a way to close it.
If anyone's having an idea over it, that will be greatly appreciated???
2) Also, in another application, I am downloading data into excel sheet and the download
opens in a new window. Once the user clicks on the option (SAVE, OPEN, CLOSE),
the blank window should close which works well in IE 7 but in IE 6 the user says the blank
window is visible and they have to close it manually.
I am using the following code for this:
excelCSVFile = new FileInputStream(f);
IWDCachedWebResource cachedWebResource = null;
if (excelCSVFile!= null)
cachedWebResource = WDWebResource.getWebResource
excelCSVFile, WDWebResourceType.getWebResourceType(
"xls","application/ms-excel"));
cachedWebResource.setResourceName(fileName);
wdContext.currentVn_XL_SheetElement().setVa_Resource(cachedWebResource.getURL());
workbook.close();
* BEGIN: Open new window: download button
IWDWindow win = wdThis.wdGetAPI().getComponent().getWindowManager().createExternalWindow
(cachedWebResource.getAbsoluteURL(),"Print Content",false);
win.setWindowSize(0,0);
win.removeWindowFeature(WDWindowFeature.ADDRESS_BAR);
win.removeWindowFeature(WDWindowFeature.MENU_BAR);
win.removeWindowFeature(WDWindowFeature.TOOL_BAR);
win.removeWindowFeature(WDWindowFeature.STATUS_BAR);
win.setWindowPosition(200,200);
win.show();
* END: Open new window: download button
For this if I try win.destroy() or win.close() or win.hide(), after win.show
this doesn't shows the download options at all (quite obviously ).
I want to close this blank window automaticaaly once the user selects
any option for download. Is there any solution to this or am I doing something wrong?
Helpful answers will be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Gaurav Bhardwaj

Hi Gaurav,
If the external window contains the view of the wd component then only you can close the window.
Try like this:
Create a context attribute of IWDWindow in the calling view - component - called view and map them in all controllers.
//set the context attribute in calling view
win.show();
wdContext.currentContextelement().setWinref(win);
* END: Open new window: download button
In onActionxxx event of the downlload button
// close the window
wdContext.currentContextelement().getWinref().destroyInstance();
Regards,
Siva

Getting hang/crash problem when I try to close browser window from applet

I have a small Apllet that has a button that calls a Javascript function in the opening window, to close the window in which it is loaded.
The Applet window is a PopUp window from one of my application's window. First time I start my application and load that Applet the button works fine. It calls the Javascript method and the Method closes the window using the self.close() method.
But now if I open the applet window again and click on the button to close the windows, it hangs. I put in trace statements and saw that it hangs on JSObject.getWindow() window.
I am using JDK Plugin 1.4.2_07 and 5.0 , if I work out on IE browser, it works fine.But when I use firefox or mozilla it gives problem of hanging/crashing.
Note that in case of 1.4.2_07 this problem experienced some times but in case of 5.0 it gives always for other than IE browser.
Please, if somebody could give me some clue about why this would happen, I will really appreciate that. and code related to this is given below
import javax.swing.JApplet;
import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import netscape.javascript.JSObject;
public class TestApplet extends JApplet implements ActionListener{
protected JButton closeButton = null;
protected JSObject win = null;
private JFrame frame = null;
private boolean alreadyClosed = false;
public void init(){
this.win = JSObject.getWindow(this);
this.closeButton = new JButton("Close Browser Window");
this.add(this.closeButton);
this.closeButton.addActionListener(this);
frame = new JFrame("Test Frame");
frame.setSize(300, 400);
frame.addWindowListener(new WindowAdapter() {
public void windowClosing(WindowEvent e) {
System.out.println("windowClosing");
alreadyClosed = true;
TestApplet.this.stop();
frame.show();
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent ae){
stop();
public void stop() {
if (!alreadyClosed) {
alreadyClosed = true;
frame.dispose();
closeLaunchedBrowser();
System.gc();
System.runFinalization();
private void closeLaunchedBrowser() {
final TestApplet thisObject = this;
Runnable r = new Runnable() {
public void run() {
try {
JSObject win = (JSObject)JSObject.getWindow(thisObject);
if (win != null && win.toString() != null) {
//win.eval("top.opener=self;self.close();");
//win.call("close", null);
win.eval("self.close();");
} catch (Exception e) {
Thread t = new Thread(r);
t.start();
Thanks.

I am waiting for any reply. I have tried for all these below options still I am getting Problem. I heard this is because of javascript, it wont call methods more times .Thats
why I need other than JSObject or java script solution.If some one know anything about this or any modifications I have to made for the below options to avoid that problem please let me know.
// URL durl = new URL(thisObject.getCodeBase(), "test/CloseMe.htm");
// System.out.println("URL :" + durl.toString());
// thisObject.getAppletContext().showDocument(durl);
// thisObject.getAppletContext().showDocument(new URL("javascript:window.close();"), "_self");
//win.eval("top.opener=self;top.close();");
//win.call("close", null);
//Object[] args = { "close", new Integer(50) };
// win.call("setTimeout", args);
//win.eval("setTimeout("close", new Integer(50));");
If it is the problem of JRE I just need it should work on 1.4.2_01 or higher.
thanks.
