Question

I am learning WebDynpro and have developed a sample application where i ask the user to login. In case of incorrect login I want to display a popup window which shows an error message and has an ok button on it. On click of the OK button i want to close the Window.
I have created a view for this popup... called errorView
On click of login button i perform validations n incase the validatins fail i have put in the following code
IWDWindowInfo myWinInfo = wdComponentAPI.getComponentInfo().findInWindows("Ra_ErrorView");
myPopupWindow = wdComponentAPI.getWindowManager().createWindow(myWinInfo,true);
myPopupWindow.setWindowPosition(300,150);
myPopupWindow.open();     
How should i proceed?
Where should i write the myPopupWindow.close()
Kindly give a step-by-step solution.

Hi Reema,
You want to close a window say window1 which you opened from a view.
create an attribute. select its type from java native settings to IWDWindow
wdContext.currentcontextElement().setWindowInstance(window);
1.create an event in component controller say event1
2.In order to trigger the event in component controller create a method in it
write this code in implementation of controller to trigger the event
wdThis.wdFireEventAddressSelectedEvent();
3.For catching whatever event that is responsible for closing the window create an event handler in view1 say eventhandler1.Choose the subscibed event to be event1
4.In that eventhandler1 write the code in implementation
IWDWindow window =
wdContext.currentcontextElement().getWindowInstance();
window.close();
Hope this helps you.Do revert back if you have more doubts
