Partial view remains active after close

Question

I have a view in which I have a kendo-grid, in this grid there is a button to open a detail window. When the button is pressed the detail window opens which is a kendo-window which renders a partial view. When I close the kendo-window I destroy it and set it to null. However I have a JavaScript function on both my view and my partial view that catches the input of a scanner. If I scan while the window with the partial view is open the function on the view does nothing, however when I close the partial view the JavaScript function on the partial view still catches my scans and it tries to process the scan for both pages at once. How can I make sure the partial view is really closed so that it doesn't catch my scan input (preferably with JavaScript).

Partial view action method:

public ActionResult GetKendoWindow(int ID, int PID)
{
  //fill and return partial view locationswindow
  ViewBag.ID = ID;
  ViewBag.PID = PID;
  IEnumerable<BinLocationItemModel> model = dbLogic.getItemLocations(PID, ID);

  return PartialView("_PartialViewLocation", model);
}

Kendo-window:

function showDetails(e) {
e.preventDefault();
if (wnd) {
  wnd.close();
}    
var dataItem = this.dataItem($(e.currentTarget).closest("tr"));
wndOpen = 1;

$("#detcont").append("<div id='Details'></div>");

wnd = $("#Details").kendoWindow({
  width: "60%",
  height: "60%",
  actions: ["Minimize", "Maximize", "Close"],
  title: "Location Data for: " + dataItem.ArticleID,
  content: {
    url: "GetKendoWindow",
    type: "GET",
    data: { ID: dataItem.LineNum, PID: dataItem.PickID }
  },
  close: function (e) {
    wnd.destroy();
    wnd = null;
    setWindowInactive();
  }
}).data("kendoWindow");

wnd.center().open();

}

function setWindowInactive(e) {    
wndOpen = 0;
}

Partial View JS:

<script type="text/javascript">
  //Scanner opvangen
  $(document).ready(function () {
      if ($('#ItemLocGrid') != null) {
          var pressed = false;
          var chars = [];
          var grid = $('#ItemLocGrid').data('kendoGrid');
          var dataitem = grid.dataItem(grid.select());

          $(window).keypress(function (e) {
              if (e.which >= 48 && e.which <= 57) {
                  if (chars.length < 3) {
                      // do nothing
                  } else {

                      $('.focus :input').focus();
                  }
                  chars.push(String.fromCharCode(e.which));
              }
              if (pressed == false) {
                  setTimeout(function () {
                      if (chars.length >= 5) {
                          var barcode = chars.join("");
                          document.getElementById("txtBarcodes").value = barcode;
                          $('.focus :input').submit();
                      }
                      chars = [];
                      pressed = false;
                      document.getElementById("txtBarcodes").value = "";
                  }, 200);
              }
              pressed = true;
          });
      }
  });

  $('#txtBarcodes').submit(function (e) {
      var grid = $("#ItemLocGrid").data("kendoGrid");
      var dataSource = $("#ItemLocGrid").data("kendoGrid").dataSource;
      var allData = grid.dataSource.data();
      var code = this.value;
      var notification = $("#notification").data("kendoNotification");
      console.log("Nothing to see here");
  })

Answer 1

It wasn't exactly like SeM mentioned but his code gave me the idea which fixed it. What I did was put my JavaScript code from my partial view into my view(instead of the layout), I didn't realize my view would be able to read a kendo-grid without actually containing it in its code but it actually can. After that it was just a matter of checking if the window is open and processing a scan for either the partial view or the view.
