Hi,

I created 3 views. all binded together with plugs. One view is an help view. I want this to be opened in a new external window. What code do I need to use? or what should i do

Hi,

Create window, insert your view to window and use code like this:

IWDWindowInfo win=wdComponentAPI.getComponentInfo().findInWindows("SearchHelpPos_View");//<-window name
IWDWindow wind=wdComponentAPI.getWindowManager().createWindow(win,true);

I get a null pointer. code i am using is:

IWDWindowInfo win=wdComponentAPI.getComponentInfo().findInWindows("SearchHelpPos_View");//<-window name

wdThis.wdFirePlugToSeachhelpPos();

IWDWindow wind=wdComponentAPI.getWindowManager().createWindow(win,true);

Do you really have "SearchHelpPos_View" WINDOW? Don`t fire plug(wdThis.wdFirePlugToSeachhelpPos();), you don`t need it.
