I have a multimodal interface where I need to get a reply from the user either via a dialog (created with llDialog()) or another selection mechanism. If they use the "other" mechanism, I'd like to make the dialog go away without the user having to click "Ignore". Can this be done?

From http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/LlDialog
...- There is no way by script to kill a dialog box. - There is no way for the script to detect if the user clicked the small "ignore" button (no chat is generated as a result of pressing this button). - There is no way to distinguish the input from a dialog box and regular chat made by the same user. ... _____________________

As Meade pointed out, no way to force it closed, but you can add your own cancel/diregard button which will be bigger than the ignore button and thus more likely to be used (also good for remenu systems where each choice pops a new dialog)

I tend towards the 45sec timeout from the last touch.... but this only works for items that aren't getting heavy constant traffic _____________________
