How to close a Global Table with code?

Hello, I want to close a Global Table that is open like using the X button, this is based on that I'm using the command: applicationcommand("addglobaltable") and when the Global Table is created, it also pops up and I don't want that, so if I can change the command's behavior or I can use code to just close the Table.

Thanks.

Software Version:

FlexSim 19.1.0

If you don't want the table to open when you create it you should pass 1 as the second parameter

applicationcommand("addglobaltable", 1)

@Matthew Gillespie

If I want to just close it with code what is the command to do it? For example, the table is already created and I opened it, but now by using code I want to close it.

Thanks.

treenode globalTable = Model.find("Tools/GlobalTables/GlobalTable2");
treenode tableViews = node("VIEW:/active>Documents/Table");

for (int i = 1 ; i <= tableViews.subnodes.length; i++) {
	treenode tableView = ownerobject(tableViews.subnodes[i].value);
	treenode focus = objectfocus(tableView).value;
	if (focus == globalTable) {
		applicationcommand("closedockedtab", tableView);
		break;
	}
}
