Close Tooltip with Click-outside

I need a feature which allows me to close the tooltip with a click outside the tooltip (trigger & target).
Am I overlooking something or is this really missing? (I don't want to do mousover and mouseout, the target needs to stay because it has furhter functionality inside the target; but with a click outside it needs to be able to be closed again).
Any ideas? Will this feature be added soon?
Thanks

The drawback is that if you have multiple triggers, you have to click twice, one for exit the light bot and another one to trigger the trigger! This isn't very good as user experience...

Close dialog with a click outside it

How can I close a JDialog when the user clicks elsewhere? If it is modal, no mouse events are generated. With a non-modal dialog, I couldn't use FocusListener, the dialog looses focus just after it is made visible. MouseListener didn't worked too, a mouse event is generated by the same click that opened the dialog.
I feel this has to be simple, but... where is the road?

You could listen for window deactivation events.
But ... Closing a dialog when someone clicks outside it is very non-standard behavior. People expect that they have to take explicit action in response to a dialog, and not following that model is generally a bad idea. Consider the person who accidentally clicks outside the dialog -- perhaps to look for information in another window -- and then can't get back to where s/he was.

Af:popUp close when click outside popup area, Jdev 12c

Hi! I had a similar post a long time ago and it became archived due to lack of time from my part, it was never answered
the problem is:
1)Popup without dialog tag: closes when a click is made outside the popup area.
2)Popup with a dialog tag: doesn't close when clicked outside the popup area
I'd like to be able to let the user close the popup(with dialog) when he/she clicks outside the popup area.
Thanks!

User, which jdev version do you use?
Why don't you use the popup without the dialog then?
Can't be too hard to put some buttons ontp the popup.

How do I add URI web link with custom tooltip like "CLICK HERE TO UPDATE" instead of URI web link in tooltip.

How do I add URI web link with custom tooltip like "CLICK HERE TO UPDATE" instead of URI web link in tooltip.

You've probably found an answer to this by now, but I think this has been addressed in another forum -- The link below suggested using a button and adding the tooltip to the button.

Sounds like it would work but I haven't actually tried it.
Good luck~!

When I try to close the Firefox window, it is not closing. I have to click outside of the window and click back on the x button in order to close it.

For example, if I type something into the Google search bar and then try to click on the minimize or close button, nothing happens. In order to close Firefox, I have to click ''outside'' the firefox window (on my desktop or task bar) and then I can click close. If I click inside the window again, I cannot close.

You could exit Firefox from the File menu. You can also use Ctrl-Shift-W to close the window.

DW CS6 - Spry collapsible panels - How to have panel close when you click away from it?

I know typically onmouseout is used to close other items, but I could not figure it out with the spry collapsible panel. I have the panel opening onclick and closing onclick, but I would really like for it to close when you click anything else on the page outside of the panel.
Thank you!

Sorry, I did not mean other collapsing panels close when you click away from it. I simply meant in general for the closing after clicking away function, you can use onmouseout. I was working on something with collapsing panels and I wanted it to show the information when you clicked on it, but when you click on another panel, they both remain open. I really want both to close. I believe accordion does this, but not quite what I am looking for either.
Here is a better example of what I would prefer: Houston Public Library
If you visit their page and click "Find it" a box pops down with information and then when you click anywhere else on the screen, it closes that box. When you click "Research," it closes the "Find It" box and opens the "Research" box. There is likely a much better way to do this, but I am pretty new to this.
Any assistance is very much appreciated.
Thank you!

I can no longer deselect by clicking outside the area

When I select an area in Photoshop CS6, I can no longer deselect by clicking outside the area. My tooltip displays the cross with the plus sign in the lower right to indicate I am in additive mode. I can right click for a dropdown menu and choose "deselect" , but that is a drag that interrupts my thought flow and so annoys me. I've tried going into preferences and making sure the cursor is "standard." I've reset my preferences. No caps locked, etc. What is going on? More importantly, how can I make it so that all I have to do is click outside the selection to deselect it. I'm working on a Mac, if that makes any difference. I'd appreciate any help here. Thanks.

I believe you have to have the selection mode set to New Selection in the tool options bar for that to work.
Or Cmd+D to deselect.

Detect mouse down or click outside

Hello,
I'm trying to detect Mouse Down or Click event outside of a TextInput element.
This doesn't work:
myInput.addEventListener(FlexMouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN_OUTSIDE,aHorseWalksIntoABarAndTheBarten derAsksHeyWhyTheLongFace);

Hm... It's a custom TextInput component, I need to listen to this from inside it.
How does DateField or DropDownList do this? They close the DateChooser and List when clicking outside.
I saw something to do with mx_internal, but I'm not sure if I should be using that.

When I close firefox with ctrl-alt-delete, I want to start over on Firefox, I usually do this when too many tabs and windows are open. However, Firefox always restores the tabs and windows I previously had. How can I stop that from happening?

This happens when FireFox is not responding, and I want to close firefox with ctrl-alt-delete. Too many tabs can make Firefox crash. That is why I want to use ctrl-alt-delete to close FireFox. I tried finding a way to disable this, but I found no option to.

Ending the Firefox program or process with the Windows Task Manager "looks like" a crash. The proper way to exit Firefox is click Firefox button > Exit (or File > Exit, if using the Menu Bar).

Acrobat XI Pro automatically closes itself with no messages etc. after few seconds

Greetings all,
I don't know why but my Acrobat XI Pro (11.0.0) automatically closes itself (with no warning, no messages etc.) after few seconds. I installed the AXI as a part of the CS6 Master Collection on my Windows 8 (x64) laptop. Just as suggested at some other posts in the forum:
I checked the "security settings (enhanced)" tab but the protected view option is already off.
I searched for the eula.exe under the "Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat 11.0" folder but there is no eula.exe. May it be not present because I installed it as a part of CS6 Master Coll. package?
I am using Eset Endpoint Antivirus as a third party Anti Virus Software.
The problem occurs when:
I open up a pdf file from outlook etc.
I manually open a pdf file from windows explorer
I open adobe acrobat with no file to view
As I mentioned above, I see no error messages or warnings during the closing down. It acts as if I clicked the close button on the top right corner. I know that there are a lot of posts in the forum about this issue, but none of them helped me to solve my problem. I would be glad if you can help me with this problem.
Thanks,

Hey i was having this issue also with Adobe Acrobat pro... it only seemed to be affecting one program that produced PDF output automatically. When the processes finished the PDF is supposed to be displayed and instead it would rapidly flash across the screen and close. THen i would have to hunt for the PDF to review its content. I tried a couple of things like deleting my preferences for acrobat C:\Users\[your user name]\AppData\Local\Adobe\Acrobat\10.0. You might have to show hidden files. In the explorer window select Organize-> Folder and search options-> once that opens view -> check show hidden files, folders and drives. then navigate that path above. Make sure adobe is closed then delete everything in there or move it off to another folder if your worried it will break it further.
That did not fix the problem though. I opened the application and ran my process again same results (adobe closes pdf auttmagically). so i opened adobe acrobat and navigated to Edit -> Preferences -> look under the General tab and click the select default PDF handler and that seemed to fix my problem. I also disabled the enhanced security look further down in that list under security enhanced. then a reboot so it is possible that the enhance security setting was the cause i think i will play with that for a minute to see if it was but i think my issue was the default handling. good luck

More generally, Show All will only show when the Organizer isn't showing all your photos. For example, if you click on a tag to show just the photos with that tag, the Show All button will show up.
Alas, what I said above isn't completely true.   There are a number of situations where this rule doesn't hold:
- When you've restricted the photos shown to a date range using Find > Set Date Range.
- When you've restricted which media types to show using View > Media Types.
- When you type text quickly into the search box and hit enter (on a large catalog).

[Flex 4.5.1] How to remove focus from TextInput on mouse click outside of it?

For me clicking outside of a TextInput should always remove focus from it, only only if you click on another TextInput or Button.
I don't see any simple event like MouseEvent.MOUSE_CLICK_OUTSIDE - which would definitely simplify things.. I wonder why there isn't such event. Well anyway I can't find any other similar event and I can't figure out an easy way to do this. I also wonder why I couldn't find a solution to this on the web easily... Well anyway...
Does someone know how to do that in a convenient way?
Thanks!

ok I understand why is that. For example I have a TextInput now where the user enters number through buttons which have mouseFocusEnabled = false, so the TextInput doesn't lose focus. But on a TabBar I had to set mouseFocusEnabled = true or when I switched between tabs -> switches between states, I could still type in the TextInput in the previous tab cause it didn't lose focus. Maybe TabBar's default value of that property is wrongly set to false.
Anyway, not losing focus when clicking outside is still weird. Take for example this forum, if I click outside of the box I am currently writing this, I lose focus. It's how things usually work. And flex focus is designed to work backwards to what people are used to, no matter as I already pointed out I understand there are cases it comes in handly. I hope I don't sound bad but take it just as a suggestion please that maybe if it is redesigned like this: clicking on component gets focus, clicking outside loses focus. But if you click on a button for example and you want to keep the focus on a TextInput cause you add some text, you should be able to set a property on the Button like maintainCurrentFocus = true (false by default), which would make clicking on the Button not shift the focus to it or set it to null if the component is a group that has some rect background for example, but maintain the focus on the TextInput.
I could be missing something about the current design of how the focus works in flex, but from my point of view at the moment, the design I describe to use is just like how I am usually used to be working with focus as a user, not as developer.
Maybe you could agree or maybe you know some reason by which things are how they are at the moment that I don't see. But if you think I make sense please let me know, maybe I could fill a minor enhancement request for that ?

"1) it takes TOOOOOO LONG for multi-row tabs to close when i click "close all/other tabs" and 2) it takes TOO long for Firefox to appear after i click the icon on the desktop"

1) When many tabs are opened in multiple rows (say 50 or 100) it may take an enternity for them to close after I click the appropriate command
2)MOre often than not, it takes the browser too long to appear (open) after I initiat it by clicking the desktop or start menu icon.
NB: My first question is PRIMARY (critcally important) and second is additional (would very much like to receive an answer but it's not critical).
Thanks a lot in advance!
Best regards, Dmitry.

Sorry about the bookmarks misread, I installed a Multi-Row Tab style, not for me but it in use deleted 126 of 130 tabs in about 3 seconds and then the last 4, no idea why that happens with the with the multi-row style.
Did those 100 pages have web forms in them that you filled in an Firefox may be saving data along with the session.
Here is a test page that you can quickly load up to 120 tabs at a time with an extension such as "Linky". See it if it takes an eternity to close them with the Multi Row tabs extension you are using, then try the same with the extension disabled. Works fast for me all tabs are on one row.

Is it possible to change the settings so that when the red 'close' button is clicked, the application will hide instead of closing?
Applications don't "close," windows do. If you are just closing windows but not quitting applications that opened them, it is no wonder that there are hundreds of apps in the Dock.
A few apps like System Preferences have only one window, so they automatically quit when you close that one window. Most apps do not do this: even after all their windows are closed, they remain running & thus show up in the Dock, in Activity Monitor, & so on. They each require a little (or sometimes more than a little) real memory reserved for their use to remain running -- this subtracts from what is available to do useful tasks, & will slow down your Mac when it results in too much virtual memory use.
Thus, it is a good idea to quit applications you don't have an immediate need for, especially if they don't require long startup times. If you want easy access to select applications, create a folder & fill it with aliases to those apps, then drag that folder to the right side of the Dock, where it will create a stack. When opened, the stack will allow one click launching of those apps.

Why do scaled and masked captivate swfs respond to clicks outside the mask? Can it be stopped?

We load Captivate 3 SWFs at runtime into our own course player, with movieclip.loadmovie. Our player is built with AS2 and published to Flash 8. We publish our Captivate movies to the same specs. Our latest challenge requires scaling and masking the Captivate SWF.
A click outside the masked Captivate still triggers a click as far as Captivate is concerned, and it throws up a “that’s incorrect” message. Specifically, it only happens when you click in a spot that has masked Captivate “behind” it. In other words, if there would be Captivate there if the mask was turned off, Captivate will respond even when the mask is turned on.
Is there a way to make Captivate ignore mouse clicks outside of the mask? I think it must be responding to Mouse.onMouseDown() since normally a masked object won’t respond to clicks outside the mask.
I’ve put together a small test file to demonstrate exactly what’s happening, and I’ve posted it here: http://www.tbgprod.com/_experiments/captivatemasktest/captivatemasktest.swf
I’ve also uploaded the .fla file. It’s ony 50kb and it’s available here: http://www.tbgprod.com/_experiments/captivatemasktest/MaskTest01.fla
You’ll also need the Captivate .swf file if you want to test locally. Here’s the direct link. Right-click and save target as: http://www.tbgprod.com/_experiments/captivatemasktest/DisplayProperties.swf
My question is "how do I make Captivate ignore clicks outside the mask?"
Many thanks,
Todd S

Even if anyone just has any knowledge of how Captivate 3 movies actually monitor the mouse, I'd be happy to hear it. In other words, can anyone confirm my hunch? If we knew the internal structure of the Captivate SWF would it be possible to clear and restore some function as the mouse moves inside or outside of the target area? Something like this:
on mousemove {
     if mouse has crossed boundary to the outside {
          functionBuffer = container.whatever.whatever.function;
          container.whatever.whatever.function = null;
     else if mouse has cross boundary to the inside {
          container.whatever.whatever.function = functionBuffer;
This would kill Captivate's mouse functions and then bring them back to life, as the mouse exits and re-enters the masked Captivate area. Two questions:
1. If we knew the necessary whatever.whatever.function information, would this work?
2. Does anybody know the necessary whatever.whatever.function information?
