Dialog close when click outside

[elenaaralla]

Hi,

is there a way to close dialogs when user click outside them?

[VictorTomaili]

you can try to add click event for the backdrop in dialog constructors. Do not forget to off on dialog dispose.
for example

$('.ui-widget-overlay').on('click', (e) => {
    console.log('ui-widget-overlay clicked');
})

Hi @VictorTomaili,
what do you mean with "Do not forget to off on dialog dispose."

Thank you,
Elena.

when you register an event on dialog open, you need to remove this event while disposing the dialog (when closing).

protected destroy() {
//unregister the event 
}
