TROUBLESHOOTING: af:showPopupBehavior raises the popup although the parent action component is disabled

Scenario:

The following will raise the component

eg

< af:commandToolbarButton   ... 
              disabled="true"
              icon="/images/icon.png"
              disabledIcon="/images/disableIcon.png"                
              ... >
               < af:showPopupBehavior popupId="Popup"
                                    triggerType="click" />
</af:commandToolbarButton >     

Note: that the command component will be disable and will be rendered with the disable icon

Solution:

In order to not raise the pop use  triggerType="action"

< af:commandToolbarButton   ... 

              disabled="true"

              icon="/images/icon.png"

              disabledIcon="/images/disableIcon.png"                

              ... >

               < af:showPopupBehavior popupId="Popup"

                                    triggerType="action" />

</af:commandToolbarButton >     

Below is part of the documentation in order to help you understand why. Probably is because of the "the component will still raise the action event."

Client Event Trigger Types

The following table lists component family-specific event types that can be assigned to the triggerType attribute:

Event Type	Component Family	Description
action	Command	Fires when user triggers the command component. Owning component's server-side action listeners will be ignored since the event will be canceled.

...

The following table lists input (mouse/keyboard) event types. These events are delivered for all components (though in some cases may be consumed by the peer implementation) and can be assigned to the triggerType attribute:

Event Type	Description
click	Fires when user clicks on component. When the event source is a command family component, the component will still raise the action event.
