Why is a modal box similar to The Terminator?

[shooking]

It absolutely will not die!

Setting a default value for a combo and Text block in AlertWindow

I need to find a way to make the lights in his little red eye’s go out.

It seems one sets the visibility to 0 … but well will that really kill it?
I mean I make my components invisible and I am sure they dont go away.

Might I end up creating a plethora of these invisible modal boxes?
If I click my Windows task bar Ctrl’s Icon there’s a lot of them – like Beta fighters on Defender (youngsters wont get that reference). I just want to kill it.

Hi shooking,

I’m not that young and don’t get the reference! Anyway, try…

local previousRecordedChoice=3 -- 3 was the last selected value or a default you want to use
	modalWindow:getComboBoxComponent("myCombo"):setSelectedItemIndex(previousRecordedChoice,2)

Also see my panel ‘Roland Checksum Calculator’ – loath to post the URL else this post gets suspended.

I thought one of us was having a senior moment – but infact you were lucid as ever 🙂
So yes I should have just tried modalWindow:setVisible (false)

Now to change my previous combo boxes to LCD’s backed by model choice.
And I spelt it wrong baiter rather than beta 🙂

ok so I see some post marked as solved – and this is .. how to modify it?
Do I need to do it as the starter? If so, help! I dont see obvious way to achieve it.
