Destroy all components at once

[checks]

Hello,

I want to destroy all components. I have an application that uses Log in and Log out, so when the user Logs out I need to destroy all windows that the user leaved active. The problem is that the application has a lot of windows son I don't want to do this...

window1.destroy();
window2.destroy();
etc . . .

Does sencha have a method to destroy all components at once???

Thanks!!!!

If you destroy the viewport, all items are destroyed as well. Containers automatically destroy all child items.

I question whether Scott's approach is what the OP wants, destroying the entire viewport -- that seems a bit drastic.

Instead it appears that when a user logs out, they just want to destroy a number of windows the user may have open. My suggestion then is to store references to the open windows in a MixedCollection, or better yet a plain old Javascript object or array. Presuming that an array is used and it is named openWindows, then it would be a matter of something such as:

for (var i=0, n=openWindows.length; i<n; i++) {
    var openWindow = openWindows[i];
    if (openWindow) {
        openWindow.destroy();
    }
}

Window instances are generally not children of containers.

How about this?

Ext.WindowManager.each(function(component) {
    if (component.getXType() === 'window') {
        component.destroy();
    }
});

Ext.WindowManager.each(function(component) {
    if (component.getXType() === 'window') {
        component.destroy();
    }
});

I like this better than mine.

Ok, I tried with your code, and I get the error... Ext.WindowManager is undefined.

So I have the next question:

how should I use this code?
Is 'component' a var????

I use Extjs 3.1

In Ext 3 it would be Ext.WindowMgr (yet another change from 3 to 4 for no good reason: at least provide an alias for a while and mark WindowMgr as deprecated)

Ext.WindowMgr is still a valid alias in 4.x.
