Open a new I.E window from web dynpro

Question

Hi:
When I click on a button I would like to open a new I.E. window
I have used the following code:
IWDWindowInfo windowInfo =               (IWDWindowInfo) wdComponentAPI.getComponentInfo().findInWindows("Window1");
     IWDWindow window =     wdComponentAPI.getWindowManager().createWindow(windowInfo, true);
     window.open();
but this one opens a popup window. I wanna open a new window independent of the current window.
Any suggestions.
Thanks,
Praveen.

Hi Praveen,
       If u want to open a external window u have to use
IWDWindow window = wdComponentAPI.
        getWindowManager().createExternalWindow("URL", "Title",false);
Follow the below steps
1.Create a different application(app2) and component(comp2) linking to the window2 in the same project
2.Deploy the app2.
3.Go to ur view implementation in the window 1 .
4.write the below code snippet to get the url
String applicationURL = WDURLGenerator.getApplicationURL(“ProjectName”, “App2”);
5.Open external window using
IWDWindow window = wdComponentAPI.
        getWindowManager().createExternalWindow(applicationURL, "Title",false);
window.open();
Now ur window 2 will be opened in the new I.E
To have more info on WDURLGenerator api.
