Lightbox Communication

So I have a lightbox, but I want it to connect with a certain page so that when you close the lightbox, certain text changes (for example) on a certain page. Is there any way I can do this by making the lightbox communicate with that page/text? Thanks. Here’s the code for closing the lightbox:

export function button29_click(event) {
wixWindow.lightbox.close();

I really just want it to be something like:

exportfunction button29_click(event) { wixWindow.lightbox.close();
(lightbox communicates with page that it has been closed)
$w(‘#text35’).hide()
$w(‘#text36’).show()

So when the button that closes the lightbox is clicked, the text hides and shows

In order to do that, you;ll have to open the lightbox from the page by code and close it by code (disable all the automated closing options.

on the page:

import wixWindow from 'wix-window';//at the top of the code
//code... code...
//...
wixWindow.openLightbox("LightboxName")
.then(data => {
//code to execute once the lightbox has been closed
})

To add to J.D. post above, make sure that you read about close lightbox here too so that you can understand more.

You will also find code examples there that you can run through and see how it all works too.
