application.getWindow()

I am having trouble getting a window to close. Here is the code I use to create and show my window:

// create a modal dialog
md = application.createWindow("chartsList", JSWindow.MODAL_DIALOG);
md.title = "Charts for " + activepatient_to_encounters.name_lfm;

//Pass Window Name
globals.g_WindowName = md.getName();
	
//load form in window
forms.Encounters_Charts.controller.show(md);

I copied the sample code for application.getWindow() to get me started:

// close and dispose window resources
win = application.getWindow("someWindowName");
if (win != null) {
if (win.isVisible()) win.close();
win.destroy();
}

Here is my close method:

//Declare Variables
var win;

// close and dispose window resources
win = application.getWindow(globals.g_WindowName);
if (win != null)
{
	if (win.isVisible())
	{
		win.close();
//		win.destroy();
	}		
	globals.g_WindowName = null;
}

If I leave in win.destroy(), my window closes. If I comment it out and just use win.close(), my window doesn’t close. In debugger I notice that my variable ‘win’ is set to the following:

com.servoy.j2db.scripting.JSWindowImpl$JSWindow@127ab93 {title:"Charts for Test Patient"}

which is the title of my created window, not the name. Therefore win.close() won’t work. Am I doing something wrong?

i just tested your exact code and it works fine for me, without the destroy() the window is hidden just fine.
