How to close underlaying document from dialog box?

I have a formA. When I click the button on FormA a dialog box appears. I fill the dialog box and when I click OK button, I need to close both - dialog box and also a formA.

Any ideas?

  • I did not find any function like doc.Close(unid), or something like that …

You can’t do it from the dialogbox, but you can do it from the code that CALLS the dialogbox.

Stan, could you be more specific, or at least can you tell me, what should I look for in the documentation?

Look at the Designer Help EXAMPLES for the Dialogbox method. They use:

someVariable = ws.Dialogbox(…)

If someVariable Then…

That should be a hint that the code continues to run after the dialogbox is dismissed when the dialog return is assigned to a variable. You can use, oh I don’t know, maybe Call uidoc.Close?

LOL!

If you are calling your dialog box via formula… you might try adding an @PostedCommand([FileCloseWindow]) at the end of the code in your button. I haven’t tried this but it should work.
