I have a window with closeAction configured to 'hide' on instantiation:

var myWin = Ext.create('Ext.window.Window', {
    ...
    closeAction:'hide',
    ...
});

Calling close() on myWin therefore simply hides the window. I need to destroy the window in the sense of destroy as implied by the Sencha docs:

remove the window from the DOM and destroy it and all descendant Components. The window will not be available to be redisplayed via the show method.

What did I try? I tried:

  1. calling destroy directly on the window object:

    myWin.destroy();

  2. setting closeAction to destroy prior to calling close():

    win.closeAction='destroy';
win.close();

In both cases, myWin is simply hidden rather than destroyed. Any thoughts?

  • With `destroy()` it is perfectly destroyed: http://jsfiddle.net/5BcBd/1/. – VisioN Mar 08 '13 at 11:55
  • @VisioN Thank you for your comment. How are you checking whether it's simply hidden or actually destroyed? In my case, I'm able to re-show the window, that's why I ascertain it's hidden and not destroyed. – Joseph Victor Zammit Mar 08 '13 at 12:40

    I have updated the fiddle in the comment above so that is displays the contents of `body` before and after removal. Typically you may use Chrome DevTools or Firebug for that. In case of `destroy()` the DOM structure is removed and if you try to call `show()` afterwards, the JS will raise an error. – VisioN Mar 08 '13 at 13:46
  • Indeed you're right; please add this as answer, stating clearly that what I assert about `destroy()` in my question is incorrect - I'll mark your answer as the correct answer. Thanks! – Joseph Victor Zammit Mar 08 '13 at 14:32

Method destroy() should successfully remove the window object from the DOM. In order to illustrate this you can check the basic example in JSFiddle.

After calling myWin.destroy() the structure is cleared and it becomes not possible to reinvoke the window with myWin.show().
