Button to Close Pop-Up

[Chris M]

I remeber doing this before, but of course I've forgotten and didn't make notes

I want to have a button that closes a pop-up layer. I know there's a default button when 'Close Automatically' is deselected, but it's rather woefull and I want a custom one anyway.

My dusty memory recalls something along the lines of 'close:name-of-layer' or 'exit:name-of-layer' typed in the Link To Web....' section. I know it was pretty simple. Anyone with a better memory than me before I start to Google and end up watching kittens on YouTube?

And of course I find the answer 2 seconds after asking.

Web Properties > Link to Web or Email
popuppen "name of layer"
popup:close "name of layer"

Stand down chaps. Nothing to see here.

Chris... this is along the lines of what you brought up here... watch this short vid. I think you'll find it interesting and useful... over 5 years old and still relevant. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1kXJcrvXxAk

BTW: I'm wondering (and have for a long time always wondered) how many more 'undocumented' commands like these are possible in XARA? If anyone know of anymore, would you please advise? Or are they documented but I just can't find them anywhere... from the help files to the manual.

Adding the (lock) at the end of the layer name is very handy to know. I was quite happy with it before, and nobody commented about it...but now it bothers me more than a stone in my shoe.

Now, which site was it I was referring to?
