Outside the form? Does it mean the pointer is on the window manager
background?
If so and the forms border is still highlighted you may want to
check the window manager configuration concerning the keyboard
focus.
Additionally 'fl_get_focus_object()' or 'fl_set_focus_object()'
may be of some help (the mouse pointer must not be on the wm
background in this case).
(1)
Generally, you can do 'fl_whatever()' calls as far as the mouse
pointer is within any xforms form.
(2)
You will have to check wm customization if (1) may not work.
(3)
You will need Xlib calls if neither (1) nor (2) works.
