-------------------------------------
Summary: Allow button presses to queue the action to be performed
instead of doing it directly.
Key: PIVOT-1013
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIVOT-1013
Project: Pivot
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: wtk
Reporter: Roger Whitcomb
Assignee: Roger Whitcomb
Priority: Minor
In some applications if an action is performed, it will invoke a dialog or open
another window. If that action has been triggered from a MenuPopup (so in this
case the button will be a MenuButton subclass of Button) the focus will be
stolen from the invoked dialog back to the main window by the closing of the
MenuPopup. The result is that the user must click another time on the dialog.
So, one solution to this dilemma is to queue the action to be performed "later"
on the event queue. This allows the menu popup window to close before the
action is invoked and therefore the focus can be shifted properly.
So, add a property to Button, which will be set by MenuButton to queue the
action instead of performing it directly inside "Button.press()".
This is a Proof-Of-Concept since I haven't yet figured out how to get this to
work properly.
