Can't get window to pop-up in game and don't know why

Issues - Platform and API
1

Hello,

Here is what I am trying to achieve:

I have a window open before the user enters a game, when a user loads a game, the window starts listening for the in game events. This works fine.

When the match is ended, I run some functions that all work fine and the events are all triggered as expected, but I want to have a window pop-up over the game when the match has ended.

What currently happens:

When the match ends, the code to restore the window is triggered, but the window does not appear until I click on the window that is already open, I don’t know why this is happening but this is the crux of the issue.

The code I use to launch the pop-up window:

Manifest File:

"result": {
    "file": "dist/result/result.html",
    "desktop_only": true,
    "native_window": true,
    "grab_focus_on_desktop": true,
    "resizable": true,
    "transparent": true,
    "override_on_update": true,
    "size": {
      "width": 500,
      "height": 699
    },
    "min_size": {
      "width": 500,
      "height": 699
    }
  }

From inside of my main window file:

overwolf.windows.obtainDeclaredWindow("result", LoggedIn.instance().openResults);

    public openResults(){
    overwolf.windows.restore("result");
  }

And then from inside of the pop-up window named ‘result’ I create a new instance in the singleton pattern, but the window will not appear until I focus back onto the main window and un-focus from the game, how can I solve this issue?

@ge0r9e Hi,

have you checked that your callback function executed?

For example:

public openResults(){
     console.log("here");
    overwolf.windows.restore("result");
  }

Have you tried to use bringToFront()?

Anyway, two important notes:

  1. When you bring to the front of the desktop window, expect that the game will lost focus. If it’s in fullscreen, it will be minimized.
  2. It might be a bug on our side as well. We are checking the issue.

Please update.

Thanks.
