Open() , save and close while script is running

Hi,

 

Is there a way I could open the data table, save in the variable and close it while the script is running? It's annoying sometimes because the input data table will pop up. I tried using close window, close() but they didn't seem to work.

Names Default To Here( 1 );
Clear Globals();
Clear Log();
dt2 = Current Data Table();
nw = New Window( "New window",
   <<MODAL></MODAL>

I think you started new topic related to this question (Bring window to front) , so we can continue discussion there, most likely related to you using modal window.

Re: Open() , save and close while script is running

Hi @jthi , Quick question. I am trying to bring the variability chart window in the front or maximize it after clicking on button box "Plot". I tried using bring window to front but it's not working. Can you suggest what other syntax can be use?

 

Here's my script: 

Names Default To Here( 1 );
dt2 = Open( "$SAMPLE_DATA/Big Class.jmp" );
nw = New Window( "New window",
 <<MODAL></MODAL>

It worked. Thanks @jthi

Could hiding the window work (make it invisible). Then if you need to make it visible you can use << Show Window(1);.

Here is how to set invisible directly in Open function, but I think this requires you to have the path

Names Default To Here(1);
dt = Open("$SAMPLE_DATA/Big Class.jmp", invisible);
wait(2);
dt << Show Window(1);

In your case you might have to first let the table open as visible and then use << Show Window(0); to hide it

Names Default To Here(1);
dt = Open();
dt << Show Window(0);

Even better might be using file_path = Pick File with Open(file_path, invisible):

dt_path = Pick File("Select JMP File",
 "",
 {"JMP Files|jmp"}
);
If(!IsMissing(dt_path),
 dt1 = Open(dt_path, invisible);
);
