How to disable coordinate widget capture mode

[BradBarnell]

When in "Capture" mode on the Coordinate Conversion widget and then removing the widget from the UI, how do you disable the widget from continuing to capture map click points?  I would like to change the mode back to "Live" mode without having to click the toggle button on the widget to disable it.  I know I can destroy the widget, but that is not ideal.

View.ui.remove(coordinate_conversion_widget)

This appears to work:

View.ui.remove(coordinate_conversion_widget);
coordinate_conversion_widget.mode = "live";

Can you explain your use case a bit more?

Users forget to toggle the Capture mode off on the Coordinate widget and then they click a button to hide the Coordinate widget.  After that the click event on the map is stuck in capture coordinate location mode.
