Hi
Is there any simple way to close "Folder view" automatically while choosing any action?
Right now, when I open "FolderView" from To Do List and press any action - this folder still remains opened :(

I will be very grateful for your help...

I would have to say no.  What we have done is push the "folder view" behind the action window and the main list menu when we wanted it out of the way using this script

    if(window.top.opener.window.top.opener)
    {
        window.top.opener.focus();
        window.top.opener.window.top.opener.focus();
        window.focus();
    }

 
If you want to know why I say no, try this:
  1. Open a "folder view"
  2. Start an action
  3. Switch to the "folder view" window
  4. Close the "folder view" window
  5. Both the "folder view" and the action windows will close

Ah, all my forms are the same size so i don't see the RO view (:) talk about a blind spot). And as mohnshine already said you can not close it because it will also close the child action window.

Joanna what is the problem you/your users have?

well, forms almost MUST be the same size, otherwise the damn client window zooms in and out like some kind of demented Jack in the Box. It still does anyway as it tries to figure out what size it should be (even if the size does not change at all). That 'feature' is still with us in version 9....
