How to close relationship search dialog box dynamically?

Question

Hi Team, 
 I have custom result binding code on 'OnSearch' event. On return of result if it is true it works fine but on false I want to close search dialog box that appear in relationship on click of pick related dynamically. 
 I tried following method but it is not working. 
 parent.dialog.close(); 
 Any one can please help how to achieve this? 
 Thanks & Regards

Hi Gaurav, 
 
 Thanks for the clarification! 
 Since you did not open the dialog from your own custom code, closing it might be a bit trickier. I've played around with it a little bit, but the only thing I found was the kind of hacky 
 
 document.getElementsByTagName("dialog")[0].close(); 
 
 It worked for me in a setup similar to yours (note: I tested this on Innovator 12.0). My onSearchDialog method simply contained 
 
 alert("hi"); document.getElementsByTagName("dialog")[0].close(); 
 
 and when clicking "Pick related", it opened the dialog, alerted "hi" and then closed the search dialog. 
 
 Obsiously this approach is not very robust, but maybe it can serve as a starting point for you? Maybe you can find a way to uniquely identify the dialog you opened in your setup ( document.getElementsByTagName("dialog")[0] makes me feel kind of uneasy), but I couldn't find anything else so far. 
 Maybe someone else knows a more solid approach. 
 
 Cheers,
