How To Control A Popup Control From Another Popup Control

I am trying to get one popup controller to be set by another popup controller for example say I have the following code:

  
  
vb:popup {  
 id = "popup_a",  
 items = { Off, 1, 2, 3 }  
 value = 1  
 notifier = function(popup_value)  
 -- do something with the popup_value  
 end  
 },  
  
vb:popup {  
 id = "control",  
 items = { Off, 1, 2, 3 }  
 value = 1  
 notifier = function(control_value)  
 -- set popup_a to the control_value and trigger the popup_a notifier  
 end  
 },

How can I get the ‘control’ popup to set the value of popup_a and also respond visually and also trigger the popup_a notifier?

This is for a rudimentary preset system as if I can work this out I could get one popup to set the value of number of other popups.

Thanks

vb:popup {  
 id = "popup_a",  
 items = { Off, 1, 2, 3 }  
 value = 1  
 notifier = function(popup_value)  
 -- do something with the popup_value  
 end  
 },  
  
vb:popup {  
 id = "control",  
 items = { Off, 1, 2, 3 }  
 value = 1  
 notifier = function(control_value)  
 vb.views['popup_a'].value = control_value  
 end  
 },

But never set pop_a to alter the control popup else you get this feedback error dialog.

Thank you, this is exactly what I needed :)

Or simply: ```

vb.views.popup_a.value = control_value

You only need those strings when you have whitespace in view identifiers.

That’s correct, but i happen to also found a handy way to identify references to GUI objects more quickly in the editor when referring with literal string references.
Specially when you create large projects, it makes debugging a lot less frustrating using specific eye-catching structures but that’s just my secret tip.

Is there a way to do this without firing the notifier. I want the script to be able to set a sliders position without firing its notifier, however when the user adjusts the slider I want it to fire the notifier.
