Description
Event; broadcast to all registered listeners when the mouse is clicked (released) outside the
modal window. This event is rarely used, but you can use it to dismiss a window if the user

create. You define a method with the same name as the event on the listener object; the
method is called when the event is triggered. When the event is triggered, it automatically
passes an event object (
properties that contain information about the event. You can use these properties to write
code that handles the event. Finally, you call the
method on the component instance that broadcasts the event to register the listener with the
instance. When the instance dispatches the event, the listener is called.
