I'm programming a modal window and it can be popped up. I can't think of a good word for the opposite state. Similarly, if the window can pop up, what should be call the act of retracting to the previous state?



I googled but found no antonyms.

          This is commonly called 'dismiss', e.g. by Apple in their iOS documentation. Their term for 'pop up' in this case is 'present'.



          Also, the simple 'close' works as well to convey the meaning, I guess.

          • Would you say that the term is appropriate for non-computer circumstances as well? A friend popped up but I dismissed him. Does it sound grammatically right? (Definitely not socially, of course.)

          The term "pop-up" originally reflected the fact that these windows seem to appear quickly out of nowhere when opened in response to some interaction; they are superimposed upon another window and are usually smaller than the underlying window and originally had drop-shadows which made them appear to float above it.



          The act of dismissing them has always been called "closing" them. There is no specific antonym that conveys the idea of closing just as rapidly as they had appeared.

This Kransekake is a traditional Scandinavian baker's confection. Confectionery is the art of making confections , which are food items that are rich in sugar and carbohydrates. Exact definitions are difficult. [1] In general, though, confectionery is divided into two broad and somewhat overlapping categories, bakers' confections and sugar confections. [2] Bakers' confectionery, also called flour confections , includes principally sweet pastries, cakes, and similar baked goods. Sugar confectionery includes candies ( sweets in British English), candied nuts, chocolates, chewing gum, bubble gum, pastillage, and other confections that are made primarily of sugar. In some cases, chocolate confections (confections made of chocolate) are treated as a separate category, as are sugar-free versions of ...
