[boxclk] - v0.04 Update

Improves responsiveness of background apps that also use the touchscreen (such as Pattern Launcher) by only using the drag handler if a box is actively selected.

I made another branch with some code I've been testing to add clock info compatibility.

A couple of things I'm still trying to figure out with the clock info menus:

1. Getting them to redraw properly
2. How to make them moveable like the other boxes.

I've only been focusing on issue 1 so far. I've tried merging the two draw functions (main and clock info), I've tried calling the clock info draw function both at the end and after the main one. The module handles when to redraw, right? How do I make sure it redraws after every screen refresh?

I think 2 should be doable by switching over to the pixel coordinates in boxPos and using those after loading the initial clock info menus. Currently the generated clock info menu data from the module is stored in the clockInfoMenus object. Maybe it's just a matter of having the module use the boxPos in the boxes for the menus just like the text boxes?

Thanks! I don't know if it helps in this case but 2v18 has http://www.espruino.com/Reference#l_E_stopEventPropagation which will allow you to stop events being passed down the list of on(... handlers.

For redraw, I'm pretty sure if you've got let clockInfoMenu = require("clock_info").addInteractive(...) all you need to do is call clockInfoMenu.redraw()

And hopefully for moving,you just have to change clockInfoMenu.x/y and it should be ok too... I think the only gotcha will be making sure you set clockInfoMenu.focus=false when dragging to stop the clockinfo picking up swipe events while you drag

Awesome! Thanks for looking into it. I'll try your suggestions later.
