Closing an external window

Question

Hello,
I would like to close an external window dynamically by calling the method
lr_myextwin->close( ) when some event occurs.
This does not seem to work since the opened external window is still open...
Ofcourse it is possible to manally close the external window, but I would like it to happen dynamically.
Can any brief me in, if it possible.
Cheers,
Gerald

Hi Jagruti,
   Its possible to close the external window dynamically.What you have to do is , while creating the external window instance, save the instance in the component controller as an attribute .
Which means create an attribute in the component controller of type IF_WD_WINDOW ( In this case i have created LO_POP_UP ).
  l_cmp_api = wd_comp_controller->wd_get_api( ).
  l_window_manager = l_cmp_api->get_window_manager( ).
   CALL METHOD L_WINDOW_MANAGER->CREATE_WINDOW
     EXPORTING
      MODAL                = ABAP_TRUE
       WINDOW_NAME          = <WINDOWNAME>
      TITLE                =
      CLOSE_BUTTON         = ABAP_TRUE
      BUTTON_KIND          =
      MESSAGE_TYPE         = IF_WD_WINDOW=>CO_MSG_TYPE_NONE
      CLOSE_IN_ANY_CASE    = ABAP_TRUE
      MESSAGE_DISPLAY_MODE =
      DEFAULT_BUTTON       =
     RECEIVING
       WINDOW               = l_final_window
When you get the instance of the window.Save it in the component controller attribute.
wd_comp_controller->LO_POP_UP = L_FINAL_WINDOW.
CALL METHOD L_FINAL_WINDOW->OPEN
At later point of time , you could get this instance from compenent controller and you can call that in your method whenever and whereever necessary , so that you could close the window in a smooth fashion.
mywindow = wd_compcontroller->LO_POP_UP
mywindow.close().
