Lasso Tool in the modal window

[#1]

Hi,

Is there a way to call Lasso in the modal window?

JMP documentation says to press L, but it doesn't work in the modal window. Any suggestion?

Names Default To Here( 1 );
dt = Open( "$SAMPLE_DATA/Big Class.jmp" );
New window("",modal,
gbp = Graph Builder(
	Variables( X( :height ), Y( :weight ) ),
	Elements( Points( X, Y ), Smoother( X, Y ) )
);
)

Thanks,

I don't see a way to access the Lasso tool in a modal window.  This sounds like a great item to add to the JMP Wish List.

However, you can make a non modal window work somewhat like a modal window by placing the code to be processed after the window closes in an   On Close() function for the window.

Seems like modal windows block most of the shortcuts from being run. You could add additional controls to access it if you really need modal window

Names Default To Here(1);
dt = Open("$SAMPLE_DATA/Big Class.jmp");

nw = New Window("", << modal,
	Button Box("Lasso",
		Main Menu("Lasso")
	, << Set Icon("WinToolsLasso")
	),
	gbp = Graph Builder(
		Variables(X(:height), Y(:weight)),
		Elements(Points(X, Y), Smoother(X, Y))
	)
);
