Roger Whitcomb commented on PIVOT-1013:
---------------------------------------
Implemented the code. Also added a configurable delay to the queuing.
Typically the delay would be related to a window close transition duration,
such as for MenuPopup or similar.

>
> 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.
