JFXDialog closes when clicking away

Question

I'm using JFXDialog in my program to show that the program's main function is loading. I use the JFXSpinner to show this. The issue is that when the loading dialog is shown, it can be closed when clicked anywhere outside the dialogue. I tried using the 3rd constructor of JFXDialog where you set overlayClose, however whether I set it to true or false, it changes nothing.

Does anyone happen to know what can be done to prevent the dialog from being closed when clicking away?

Did you try : `your_dialog.setOverlayClose(false);` ? – Menai Ala Eddine - Aladdin Mar 19 '18 at 21:22 — Menai Ala Eddine - Aladdin, Mar 19 '18 at 21:22

As written in JFXDialog.java source file:

/**
 * indicates whether the dialog will close when clicking on the overlay or not
 *
 * @return
 */
private BooleanProperty overlayClose = new SimpleBooleanProperty(true);

public final BooleanProperty overlayCloseProperty() {
    return this.overlayClose;
}

public final boolean isOverlayClose() {
    return this.overlayCloseProperty().get();
}

public final void setOverlayClose(final boolean overlayClose) {
    this.overlayCloseProperty().set(overlayClose);
}

You should use yourDialog.setOverlayClose(false);
