Any way to "show filter" and "regular expression" by default in columns view selector?

Hi! I use "Columns View Selector" quite often. Not sure if anyone knows how to set "Show filter" and "Regular Expression" options ON by default. I searched in this community but only got 1 answer covered the button box.

And the scripting guide has no much info related to control the "panel box". Much appreciate it in advance if anyone helps me out

 

Names Default To Here( 1 );
dt = Current Data Table();
Main Menu("columns viewer");
w = Window("Data Table Columns Viewer");
w[ButtonBox(1)] << Click; // Not working properly (Windows 64bit, JMP Pro 14.3/16.2)
// w[PanelBox(1)] << Mouse Click; // Not working properly (Windows 64bit, JMP Pro 14.3/16.2)

You can show filter quite easily, but I'm not sure how to enable regular expression

Names Default To Here(1);
dt = Current Data Table();
Main Menu("columns viewer");
w = Window("Data Table Columns Viewer");
w[If Box(1)] << Set(1); 

It is filter col selector you are trying to access

agree. When you get down to the generic box(1), the scriptable interface for setting regex is not there. I think it should be, but you are likely the only person that will ever ask for it... Maybe a Wish List item to make the UI be more visible rather than hidden behind a popup within a popup would get enough votes to get attention. ("It's too hard and too many clicks to find the regex option.") More visible would likely also be more scriptable.

I have been able to send some ButtonBox()  messages to the buttons in the Columns Viewer, however Set is not one of them.  I guess there is only limited functionality available.
