Thread Click outside modal form

It would be quite nice for a modal form to have an event that allows
you to know that the user clicked outside of a modal form. I have
noticed that this is used a lot on applications like our bank to close
the modal window. You could argue it isn't really modal then, but
that's why an event would be good - we could choose to close, to tell
the user to stop being silly and answer the question first, or whatever.

I think you pulled a hare instead of a rabbit out that hat. Matthew was asking for an Event, not a Property. Smile

But, with this property set the developer can define what happens. And, users pretty much know it's an either or situation with what we know as a modal form. Users know if they click anywhere 'out there' off the form it would close, otherwise they look for a Close button/link or an 'X'.

I do think this does the required business. The form's OnClose etc will
still fire I presume, so that's enough for me.
