Stop Dragging TitleWindow

I was under a bit of time pressure and trying to stop dragging of a TitleWindow PopUp. I tried all sorts of funky stuff like intercepting the onMouseDown Event and using Event.stopImmediatePropogation() to no avail. I also wanted access to the titleBar exclusively so here is an extended TitleWindow which enables both my requirements and stops the dragging of a TitleWindow.
