Beware though, its got a nasty bug. (I'll try and create a patch for it once the JIRA issues have been fully imported and I can see if an issue already exists) The bug is:
if you click on a dropdown item (instead of on the button) a button click event is also dispatched, when in reality it shouldn't. (IMHO, I'd love to hear counter arguments) To work around it, in the itemClick handler check for 'popUp.visible == true', then you'll know an item in the dropdown has been clicked, and not simply the button itself. cheers, Roland On 7 May 2012 19:52, Brian Zaleski <br...@imprimissoft.com> wrote: > Hi, > > Yes, this was the exact component.
