How can you close the node materials editor from code - using button or keypress event?

Hi,

I can open the node materials editor from code using: myMaterial.edit();

This means that I could have a gui button that just opens the editor when the user clicks on it.

The problem is closing the editor.

How can I close the node material editor from code when the user clicks a gui button.

Thanks.

Hello !

Found it here :

github.com/BabylonJS/Babylon.js

packages/tools/nodeEditor/src/nodeEditor.ts

master


      
          

                  // Close the popup window when the page is refreshed or scene is disposed

                  if (globalState.nodeMaterial && this._PopupWindow) {

                      globalState.nodeMaterial.getScene().onDisposeObservable.addOnce(() => {

                          if (this._PopupWindow) {

                              this._PopupWindow.close();

                          }

                      });

                      window.onbeforeunload = () => {

                          if (this._PopupWindow) {

                              this._PopupWindow.close();

                          }

                      };

                  }

                  window.addEventListener("beforeunload", () => {

                      if (DataStorage.ReadNumber("PreviewType", PreviewType.Box) === PreviewType.Custom) {

                          DataStorage.WriteNumber("PreviewType", globalState.mode === NodeMaterialModes.Material ? PreviewType.Box : PreviewType.Bubbles);

                      }

                  });

              }

          }

NODEEDITOR.NodeEditor._PopupWindow.close()
