Web2 Popover - is there a way to prevent these from disappearing when clicking off of the object?

[Tim_Seyfarth]

Hello all,
I have a case where I use a popover for the user to enter information. It works very very well. However, in testing and use, I have found that occasionally the user will accidentally click off of the object then they have to start all over.

Is there a way to hold the popover open programmatically? If not, other than a new page is there another method to do the same thing?

Thanks,
Tim

I have a popover for exporting a Listbox to PDF/CSV/XLS, etc. I keep a Class of values outside the Popover that contains the default settings, then open the popover and pass in the Class. As they change values in the popover it updates the class values so, if they dismiss the popover and open the popover again, it repopulates the popover with the newly saved Class values.
