External window events handled in root component

[Former Member]

Dear all,

I would want a view to open in an external window. However, when I perform an action in the external window, I want my root component to know.

It would be ideal to open external window that can raise event that can be handled by the root component (as is possible with modal pop up windows), but if I understand other posts on this forum, it's only possible to open view in external window via

wdComponentAPI.getWindowManager().createNonModalExternalWindow( url );

This approach means that the external window is a complete new application, so the root component can not handle events fired by the external window.

Are there other possibilities?

Kind regards,

J

Thx for your reply.

I have gone through the blog, and it seems to be about sharing data between both windows... but I don't find anything in there about firing an event in the external window and handling it in the source window.

Did i miss something?

Kind regards.
