click event outside Sheet (modal window) ?
Hello,
When I have Sheet (modal window) display, is there a possiblility to capture
the click event outside the Sheet because I would like to close the Sheet
when the user click outside the model form ?
Best regards.
Duto

This will work, but may produce an undesired side effect. TerraSheetSkin beeps when the user clicks over the owner's client area. Since TerraSheetSkin will probably register its container mouse listener first, it will get the event first and the system will beep before your handler (which closes the window) will be called.
Not sure there is a good way to do this at the moment.

I just took a quick look at the TerraSheetSkin source, and now see what is
happening behind the scenes.
A ContainerMouseListener is added to the Display to handle mouse events
(when the sheet is opened).
You should be able to do the same thing and close the sheet depending on
where the x & y coordinates are.
That is much tidier than invisible windows :)

A Pivot Sheet is always modal, so only captures mouse clicks within its
bounds.
http://pivot.apache.org/tutorials/windows.html
If you use a Frame or Dialog (either standard Pivot ones, or your own custom
version), you will be able to capture mouse clicks from outside of its
bounds.
A simple way to do this might be to first display a transparent window over
the whole GUI, and set a mouse listener for it which would close the
Frame/Dialog when you require.
Then you could open your Frame/Dialog using the transparent window as the
parent.
There are probably other cleaner ways of doing this.

Chris
