I know how to prevent the window to close like you mentioned here, but the point is I want the escape key close the window, what I don't want is the window be closed when I expect only to close/hide the popup menu without select any item.
I expect the popup to behave like a window and respond to the escape key and consume it, this way I can continue working with the actual window and as well close it with the escape key later on.

Anyway that, or something like it should work. > _______________________________________________ fltk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.easysw.com/mailman/listinfo/fltk
