This has not been necessary for a few versions now. The close function is available via the popup layer properties.

Ah, sorry - I did miss that line.
No I don't think it is possible any longer.

This is a cheat but might help.
Add a shape for your button on the pop-up layer.
Check the pop-up layer has Close pop-up automatically unticked.
Remove any URL (Do Nothing).

You could try adding something like this to the <head> of your page to hide the close button.

Code:

<style type="text/css">
IMG.xr_ap {
width: 0px;
height: 0px;
cursor: pointer;
}
</style>

I have used it with v9 not sure if Xara still uses the same class in v11

Use popup:close as the link to close the popup.

Re-found covoxer's original 1.web file here: http://www.talkgraphics.com/showthre...ng-popup-layer.

While the Close icons on each pop-up do not work in XWD11P, the Link popup: close "popup1(lock)" "popup2(lock)" "popup3(lock)" "popup4(lock)" does still work.

So effectively, add (lock) to the end of each Layer name and put a button with popup: close "popup1(lock)" on the layer popup1(lock).

No, I don't believe this works since the introduction of the built-in method.

I just tried this by modifying Covoxer's .web file and it appear to work with Acorn's addition of adding the layer name in quotes. I left Close Pop-up Automatically checked.
