Description The onReleaseOutside( ) event typically indicates that the user changed his mind after clicking on a button, moving the pointer off the button before releasing the mouse button. The onReleaseOutside( ) event handler is executed when the following sequence is detected: -
The mouse pointer is in the hit area of theButton. -
The primary mouse button is pressed and held (the onPress( ) event occurs). -
The mouse pointer moves out of theButton's hit area (the onDragOut( ) event occurs). -
The primary mouse button is released while the pointer is no longer in the hit area of theButton. You will rarely bother to detect onReleaseOutside( ) events, as they usually indicate that the user intended not to perform any action.
