[news.eclipse.platform.swt] Re: Blocking all navigation and events to Br

[Mark Diggory <mdiggory@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Thats the problem, theres not enough granularity to the location 
listener api for what developers would want to do with it.

Another idea I had was to block all Mouse events by removing all the 
mouselisteners from my browser instance, but from what I see, theres no 
way to get hold of the set and remove them without extending Browser 
directly.
