Description

Name: lb39792			Date: 11/11/99



When a user clicks on the desktop area in Windows or Solaris, there 
is currently no way to cancel visible pulldown, popup, or tool tip windows that 
are lightweight components. Two simple functions can be added to Component, 
grabCapture() and releaseCapture() to facilitate this.
