Flex Summary View - Close Modal?

Hi all,

We are using a component to be shown in the Summary view for objects. It is an htmlbridge component

className = com.vmware.vsphere.client.htmlbridge.htmlView

We use the extension point:

vsphere.core.{objectType, e.g. host}.summarySectionViews

The summary view contains some useful data, and also links to the corresponding monitor view so the user can view the summary data in detail.

The summary view appears as expected for both HTML 5 and Flex clients. 

If the link is clicked in the HTML 5 client, then the user is taken to the monitor view, as expected.

However, (this is the issue):

In the Flex client, a link is provided in the summary view saying "Click to View content" (as expected). The user clicks this link and a modal opens with the summary portlet content. The webclient object summary view is greyed behind the modal.

PROBLEM:

When the user clicks to go to the monitor view, The greyed view in the background changes to the monitor view. HOWEVER, the modal remains on the screen, and the monitor view data does not load.

REQUESTED SOLUTION:

Is there any way that the modal can be closed from within the code, when the link is clicked please? N.B. It is possible for the user to manually close the modal, but this is not desiarable.

Many thanks,

Warren

Hi wodge,

 

Thanks for reporting this issue,
This is a known limitation for rendering html content in the flash client.
Since the Flex Client is depricated, there are technical limitations and this issue can not be fixed.
The H5 Client is going to be the focus point in the next releases.

 

Best,
Martin
