public class PointerEventDispatcher extends EventDispatcher
Pointer events are grouped in sessions. A session starts when the pointer is pressed, and ends when the pointer is released.
Each event of the session is sent to the leaf widget that was under the pointer during the press event (see
Desktop.getWidgetAt(int, int)), then sent to all its parent hierarchy. Events are sent only to enabled
widgets (see Widget.isEnabled()).
Once a widget has consumed an event, it will be the only one to receive the next events during the session. All the
other widgets (ancestors or offsprings) receive an EXITED event.
When the pointer exits the bounds of a widget in the hierarchy, this widget receives an EXITED event and
won't receive any event from the session except if it has consumed an event.

When a pointer session is started, all the enabled widgets under the pointer become subscribed to this session.
The reference to this widget is initialized when the pointer is pressed ; it is updated when the pointer is dragged outside of the bounds of the widget or when a pointer event is consumed ; and it is reset when the pointer is released or when the pointer is dragged outside of the bounds of each subscribed widgets.
null if there is none.@Nullable public Widget getConsumerWidget()
When a pointer event is been consumed during a pointer session, it becomes the only widget to be subscribed to this session.
The reference to this widget is initialized when a pointer event is consumed ; and it is reset when the pointer is released or when the pointer is dragged outside of the bounds of the widget.
