Can glade switch Axis between manual and mdi mode

I have a set of buttons that in a Glade panel that lets the user select a tool from the tool changer. The Glade button simply runs an EMC_Action_MDI to do "M6 Tx" (where x is the tool number). When the user clicks one of these buttons Axis switches to the MDI mode tab. Is there any simple way (in Glade) to have it switch back to manual mode (if it was in manual mode when the user pressed the button)?

One way is look at halui.mode

www.linuxcnc.org/docs/devel/html/gui/halui.html

Need to see if Axis updates itself though.
There is an issue with Axis that some things are in internal state and others are fetched from the underlying system,
can't remember if this affects mode or not.

It is quite possible to get out of synch with it.

Otherwise see .....src/emc/usr_intf/axis/extensions/emcmodule.cc for how Axis does it

You would have to add a handler file and some python code to the GLADE panel.
