[news.eclipse.platform.swt] Re: How to make a popup shell close when mou

[Wayne Beaton <wayne@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I was thinking about this last night (but was too lazy to boot up). 

Doesn't the shell have focus as long as anything it contains has focus?
The only time I've ever used this trick, I only had a shell (that I drew
on via a PaintListener).

I suppose I could set up a little test... (but apparently last evening's
laziness is still with me)
