How do you close a window, not a dialog?

[Dzrte4gle]

It displays the previous window first. How do you make it go directly to a window?

Again, you should read the wiki

http://kodi.wiki/view/List_of_built-in_functions

-> ActivateWindow(window[,dir,return])
-> ReplaceWindow(window,dir)

[Dzrte4gle]

All of the Windows are using ReplaceWindow with return at the end. And it still displays the previous window first. I also tried ActivateWindow with ReplaceWindow and get the same results. I even tried the Action(Close) and still the previous window, opens for some seconds and then I get the other window.

Code?

[Dzrte4gle]

ActivateWindow(window,dir,return) and then ReplaceWindow(window,dir,return) or
ReplaceWindow(window,dir,return) for all windows.

You dont want to use the return parameter in this case.

In favourites XML there is no previous window showing. But in python, I have to remove " for it to work. And that's when I get the previous window appearing first. Does favourites XML use a different way in executing an xbmc built-in command? So for the Python it's ReplaceWindow(window,dir) and favourites is ReplaceWindow(window,"dir&quot

Favourites is a dialog so there's always an underlying window.

I saw that in the wiki there is no command to close a specific window, ex:
if I want to close a window with a specific ID, and this window is not a dialog, the only way to do it I think is the following:

ReplaceWindow(2109, )

(2109 is the ID of the window to close)

Is this the correct way to close a window or is there something I'm missing?


Thank you for your help.

No, you need specify the window you want to show after closing (replacing) the current one. You can't just close a window because there would nothing on screen.

Ok, thanks for explaining me how it works.
