macOS Determinate background click

[guydor]

Hi,

I've created an app that contains NSStatusItem when you click on, NSPopover is being shown.

My question is how can I determinate if the user clicks on the background, in this case I want to close the NSPopover.


Thanks!

Change the NSPopover's behavior property to NSPopoverBehaviorTransient.

NSPopoverBehaviorTransient

The system will close the popover when the user interacts with a user interface element outside the popover.

Note that interacting with menus or panels that become key only when needed will not cause a transient popover to close. The exact interactions that will cause transient popovers to close are not specified.
