How to close OMI client from script?

There are some other ways, but I think the best way is this one:

• Galaxy | Import | Script Library
  • C:\Program Files (x86)\ArchestrA\Framework\AcfSdk\Libs\ ArchestrA.Client.ViewApp.dll
  • This is the OMI toolkit
• Now in the script use:
  • ArchestrA.Client.ViewApp.ViewApplication.Application.CloseViewApplication();

Are minimize, maximize and restore functions also available for making custom buttons?

All the SDK capabilities are documented here on an installed environment: https://localhost:28808/AVEVA%20OMI%20SDK/#OMISDK.html (we are working on getting it onto docs.aveva.com). As far as I can tell, Minimizem Maximise and Restore are not exposed, but you may be able to get at them directly via the .NET framework.

WARNING: This is untested, so I'd appreciate if you can feed back here if it worked or not...

First you need to reference the PresentationFramework like this:

• In the IDE navigate to: Galaxy | Import | Script Library
• Find the PresentationFramework.dll
  • Typically here: C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\WPF\PresentationFramework.dll
  • Be sure to pick the right one with this exact name: PresentationFramework.dll
• This will give you access to additional System Windows libraries.

You should then be able to use statements like these in scripting:

System.Windows.Application.Current.MainWindow.WindowState= System.Windows.WindowState.Normal;
System.Windows.Application.Current.MainWindow.WindowState= System.Windows.WindowState.Minimized;
System.Windows.Application.Current.MainWindow.WindowState= System.Windows.WindowState.Maximized;

I did not get this to work. There seems to be a threading/ownership issue:

System.Reflection.TargetInvocationException: Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation. ---> System.InvalidOperationException: The calling thread cannot access this object because a different thread owns it.
