Properties

Name	Type	get	set	Descripton
acceptButton	BiEventTarget			The button that acts as the default accept button. If this is set then the action event is dispatched from the accept button when the enter key is pressed. This does not have to be a BiButton, any BiEventTarget will work.
allowBrowserContextMenu	Boolean			Decides whether the browser context menu should be shown by default. If this is set to true you can still prevent the browser context menu from being shown by calling preventDefault on the event object used in the contextmenu event.
cancelButton	BiEventTarget			The button that acts as the default cancel button. If this is set then the action event is dispatched from the cancel button. This does not have to be a BiButton, any BiEventTarget will work.
caption	String			The title text on the application window
fullScreen	Boolean			Whether the window is in full screen or not. This is currently not supported
glassPaneVisible	Boolean			Whether to hide or show the glass pane. The glass pane is shown automatically when using dialogs.
globalCursor	String			Setting the global cursor will make the mouse pointer use the given cursor for all the components and thus overriding the cursor property of the component.
resizable	Boolean			Whether the window can be resized by the user. This is currently not supported
