How do you close a journal?

Andyon98 — Fri, 09 Jun 2023 17:02:29 GMT

I saw a similar post suggesting:

window("Journal: Untitled")<<close window

but unfortunately, this does not work. Does anyone else have anything else I can try? For reference, the journal is untitled.

(Title is: "Journal: Unnamed *VALUE*").

Current Journal() << Close Window;

might work. See Scripting Index for cor Current Journal (and for Close All)

That worked! one more question, I have a new window but I have something like:

NewWindow = New Window("Test", jrnl << Journal(),
modal,

current journal() << Close Window;

H List Box(
   buttonone = button box("button one"),
   buttontwo = button("button two")
)
);

It wont recognize modal, is there a reason why? it removes my buttons when I try to use it and gives me an error saying "Unknown"

I cannot understand the code you provided, but modal is missing <<

Names Default To Here(1);
If(
	ex = New Window("Dialog() example",
		<<Modal,
		<<Return Result,
		V List Box(
			H List Box("Set this value", variable = Number Edit Box(42)),
			H List Box(Button Box("OK"), Button Box("Cancel"))
		)
	);
	ex["button"] == 1;
,
	ex["variable"],
	"CANCEL"
);
