Close Dialog from Subform

[Luca Bach]

Hi everyone,

I have a dialog that contains a subform. Inside the subform, there's a button that performs several actions and is supposed to close the dialog at the end. However, Command.Exit doesn't have any effect in this context.

Is there an alternative way to close the dialog?

[Noam Honig]

Try sending Command.Exit twice (to also close the dialog, not just exit the subform)

If that doesn't work - please create a small reproduction and share it with me

Have you tried placing the Exit button on the parent form, outside of the subform?

Hey, 

executing Command.Exit twice had no effect. I've attached a small example.

[Noam Honig]

I got the sample - will have more time to look at it tomorrow.

I think part of the problem is that the parent controller doesn't have any column to park on - than it simply exists the subform and returns to it.

You can maybe add something parkable on the parent controller  - or send it's exit method to the child.

I'll take another look at the code tomorrow

If the exit button was on the parent, it would solve the problem (IMO)

Yes, it works with the button on the parent, but that wasn’t the goal. 

The idea was to use an already encapsulated dialog as a subform. 

By adding a parkable element to the parent, as you described, Noam, and combining it with two Command.Exit calls, it now works.
