[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

Can you pls guide me to open a new window ( Browser) on clicking a Button, Currently I could open a window but it looks like popup.

In my case I want a separate browser to be opened.

Please advice.

Hi Murtuza,

I am able to open the application in a new Browser window, and I could pass the values as a query String.

Thanks

Hi Bala,

Are you trying to open your window like this:

wdComponentAPI.getWindowManager().createWindow(IWDWindowInfo,true);

Hi Murtuza,

I am using the below code to open the window,

IWDWindowInfo windowInfo = (IWDWindowInfo) wdComponentAPI.getComponentInfo().findInWindows("InfoPopup");

IWDWindow window = wdComponentAPI.getWindowManager().createWindow(windowInfo, true);

window.open();

but it does not open in a new browser.

There are actually only 2 options:

-- external browser window via URL (separate WD application is started)

-- internal (non-movable non-resizable) modal window inside main application window.

first at the html page, add the code:

<script language="javascript">

function openwindow(){

window.open("view");

}

</script>

in the page_load event,add the code:

private void Page_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e)

{

this.ImageButton1.Attributes.Add("onclick","openwindow()");

}

Hi Bala,

If you want to open in a new browser then go for createExternalWindow and give the url of the application that opens your InfoPopup.

Hope this would meet your requirement.

Hi Murtuza,

While opening the new window , I need to pass few params, and in case I am creating a application and apssing that url to open an external window, how do I pass the params or how do I share the context between the application

To share the context attributes, I going through the blog sent by "Satyajit"

The requirement was when you click on a link you open a new iview and you want it to retrieve a parameter.use a standard query string.

So the easiest way to do this is to create a javascript function which will use window.open to take you to your iview, I suggest using URLGenerator for this. Then append on ?myparam=value onto the end you should be able to retrieve this from the request object in the doInitialisation method.

You will end up with something like http://mydomain.com/irj/servlet....../myiview?myparam=myvalue.

Hi Bala,

If you want to get an external window then you need to create a new application for your window and give the url of that application in createExternalWindow(). For parameter passing you need to append those things in the url itself.

Hi

You can use LinkToUrl and provide url to another application.
