How to remove the screen dimming when is presented dialog?

Question

I want to be able to press the other buttons on my screen when open dialog.

Dialog menuDialog = new Dialog("Dialog Demo");
menuDialog.setTimeout(1000);
menuDialog.show(90, 90, 10, 10, true);

Answer 1

Whilst 'pheromix' is correct in associating an action to the pointerReleased region. You would also need to make setDisposeWhenPointerOutOfBounds(false) in the derived Dialog class.

Answer 2

Don't use directly a Dialog but create a class which derives Dialog. Implement the pointerReleased method , assuming that the device is tactile , and test if the x and y params are contained inside the area delimited by the Buttons's coordinates :

if ( ( x >= btn.getAbsoluteX() && x <= btn.getAbsoluteX() + btn.getPreferredW() ) && ( y >= btn.getAbsoluteY() && y <= btn.getAbsoluteY() + btn.getPreferredH() ) )
   // execute the Buttons's action method
else
   super.pointerReleased(x,y);
