Hi @rswolff,

There is no direct way to close a window from a macro. However, the method we recommend is to use an Action Trigger on the window page that closes the window after a short delay. To activate that Action Trigger, you can monitor a bit or word address for a value change. Then, your macro can change that address value to trigger the close action.
Action Trigger Per Page that closes window when LB-0 is turned on

Macro used to turn LB-0 on and off

macro_command main()
bool on = true
bool off = false

SetData(on, "Local HMI", LB, 0, 1)
DELAY(50)
SetData(off, "Local HMI", LB,0,1)

end macro_command

that answers my question but only means you can’t close a popup(s) from a macro… or basically any other means except a close window button on the popup. which is what I was attempting to do. Made the application a bit more cumbersome but no terrible impact. Would be a nice function to have however. Thanks, Bob
