How to switch between modelPanels

[blaverman]

I have an application that uses a modalPanel to offer a search dialog. One of the options there is a button to create a new entry rather than using one from the search results. For this I already have another modelPanel. I seem to be unable to find how to close the search panel and then open another.

What is the correct way to do this?

PS

why do I have 3 ways to close a modal?

1)  #{rich:component('myModelPanel')}.hide()

2) Richfaces.hideModalPanel('myModalPanel')

3) using <rich:componentControl>

what ever method you are using before closing clear the previous search criteria and then close model panel.

<a4j:commandButton id="btnCaptured" value="Close" styleClass="Black01"

immediate="true"

oncomplete="if (#{facesContext.maximumSeverity==null}) #{rich:component('modelPanelId')}.hide();"/>

<button onclick="#{...('one')}.hide; #{...'another'}.show()";/>

P.S.

1)  #{rich:component('myModelPanel')}.hide()

usage of JS in handler

2) Richfaces.hideModalPanel('myModalPanel')

deprecated.

3) using <rich:componentControl>

declarative definition with tag.

1) and 3) actually generate the same call. It's just the question of convinience.
