Open new view ... active view

I have made a node for opening a new view, this new view will then be the active view when the graph is finished and the dynamo application again is idle. However, this is only one half of what I would like to be able to do with my node. My goal was to be able to close the other open windows in the same process.

That is not possible at the moment due to the way Dynamo works. If it should be possible I need the ability to use events inside a method in Dynamo like this post by Jeremy Tammik describes.

Therefore, is the workaround at the moment as following. Add the “OpenView” node in a graph and then execute the graph and do whatever is needed. When you eventually has finished doing whatever you should, then save and closes the file.

When the file is re-open will the last view be the default view unless starting view is set, in that case, will it be the starting view and that would be correct in those cases.

This new node cannot be called as a background action!
