How to hide a window in Avalonia?

I have two views bound to the same view model. In the main window view model class, a second window is created and opened. How to hide the second window when its button is clicked? A hide() command does not work when bound to a button in the second view, but the window is hidden if the same command is bound to a button in the main window.

How to hide the second window? Function in MainWindowViewModel:

public void DeclineSettingsChanges()
{
    SW.Hide();
}

Reactive command:

private ReactiveCommand<Unit, Unit> DeclineSettingsChangesCommand { get; }

Creting command in constructor:

DeclineSettingsChangesCommand = ReactiveCommand.Create(DeclineSettingsChanges);

SettingsWindow.axaml part:

<Button Content="Cancel" Command="{Binding DeclineSettingsChanges, Source={StaticResource MainWindowViewModel}}"/>

Similarly, the binded button in MainWindow.axaml works as it should and hides the SettingsWindows.

Windows are closed using the Close() method, personally, I've never used the Hide() method on a Window so not entirely sure of it's internal workings.

You may find it helpful to use a library for dialogs and Windows. I've written a small simple library that you can get here:
