16 Mar 20233 minutes to read

By default, dialog can be closed by pressing Esc key and clicking the close icon on the right of dialog header. It can also be closed by clicking outside of the dialog using hide method.

Set the CloseOnEscape property value to false to prevent closing of the dialog when pressing Esc key.

In the following sample, dialog is closed when clicking outside the dialog area using hide method.
