How can I know which window is on front?

[Elfayer]

Hi,

I'm looking for something like "window.isOnFront() == true". Which doesn't exist.. =/

Is there something similar that can tell me if the window is on front or not?

If nothing else, you can compare the Window's zindex to some other component to determine if it's 'on top':



if (window1.getEl().zindex > someOtherComponent.getEl().zindex) {
// do something.
}

I'm doing a web desktop, so I can open multiple windows.
With the ZIndex, can I know easily which of the windows is on front (if there is one), or must I test each against each ?

Take a look at Ext.WindowManager. Ext.WindowManager.getActive() should give you what you are looking for.

Hi!
i guess you have to first register your windows in WindowManager before using getActive() method of it.

Sample:-



var win1 = Ext.create ('Ext.window.Window', {
title: 'First window' ,
id:'first',
..
});

var win2 = Ext.create ('Ext.window.Window', {
title: 'Second window' ,
id:'second',
..
});



// Register your windows to the WindowManager
Ext.WindowManager.register (win1);
Ext.WindowManager.register (win2);




alert (Ext.WindowManager.getActive().getId ());

I don't think you need to manually register the windows. See the API for http://docs.sencha.com/ext-js/4-1/#!/api/Ext.WindowManager-method-register

"Registers a floating Ext.Component with this ZIndexManager. This should not need to be called under normal circumstances. Floating Components (such as Windows, BoundLists and Menus) are automatically registered with a zIndexManager at render time."
