Create window form a diffrent axp page

Hello,

You can’t create new window or shortcut on client side from another page. Because you can’t get the reference of the WebDesktopManager.

You should create new window or shortcut in the page that contains WebDesktopManager.

Therefore, to resolve your problem, we can trick it by using parent references. In this case, we need to call parent script from child.

Let me show me show you the example how to call parent script from child.

Here’s the snippet script from parent page below:

function CreateShortcutParent() {
     var dm = ISGetDesktopManager();
     var shortcut1 = new WebDesktopShortcut();
     shortcut1.Name = "WebDesktopShortcut1";
     shortcut1.Text = "New Shortcut";
     shortcut1.Image = "../Images/welcome-32.gif";
     shortcut1.ToolTip = "Display Welcome Screen.";
     shortcut1.WindowName = "wndAboutDM";
     dm.ShortcutIcons.Add(shortcut1);
     dm.ShortcutIconsVisible = true;
     shortcut1.Show();
}

And here’s snippet script in child page, to call parent script(CreateShortcutParent function) below:

function CreateShortcut() {
    window.parent.CreateShortcutParent();
}

I also attached my simple sample, in order to make you easier understand how to use the script.

Hope this help. Thank you.

Regards,

Hans.
