onbeforeclose asynchronous

[kevn-xyz]

Does onbeforeclose get triggered asynchronously from IDialog.close()? If I insert an alert after close() then everything runs fine. Is there anyway I can force it to be synchronous if it is in fact async?

It is synchronous, due to be able to cancel the close action! Why do you think it is async? Give me an example!

if (openDialoags.files.indexOf(currentFile) != -1) { //Removes old dialog if relinting the same file
    var objIndex = openDialogs.files.indexOf(currentFile);
    openDialogs.dialogObjs[objIndex].close();
    openDialogs.dialogObjs[objIndex].hide();
}
...
alert("step") // as long as this is here everything runs fine.
...
dockable = {
    name: "ESLint",
    docking: globalCCSettings.so.dialogPos,
    onbeforeclose: (function(oDindex) {
        return function() {
        openDialogs.dialogObjs.splice(oDindex, 1);
        openDialogs.files.splice(oDindex, 1);
        return true;
        };
    })(openDialogs.files.length)
};
...
var dialCfg = new Dialog.Grid({});
...
openDialogs.dialogObjs.push(new Dialog(dialCfg));
openDialogs.files.push(currentFile);

Without the alert("step") the new dockable seems to be created before the old dockables onbeforeclose has run and cleaned itself from the openDialogs arrays (ie. its oDindex is 1 higher than it should be).

Im assuming (openDialoags.files.indexOf(currentFile) != 1) == true

You are right, the method dialog.close() is asynchronous. I don't know any more, what was the descision to do it so. For the moment you can move code after .close() into onclose handler

I could have but then I would have had to added quite a few flags and if statements. I just reworked the code using IDs for the array elements. Thanks for your time
