Cancel Event Propogation in ClientDoubleClick

[Kevin Warnke]

I want to use args.set_cancel(true) in the javascript of the ClientDoubleClick event but that method doesn't seem to be available on the args variable for ClientDoubleClick.

Any thoughts?

Thanks,
Kevin

Hi Kevin Warnke,

Well, there is no set_cancel() method, because there is no associated action with the double-click event itself. We fire a separate nodeExpanding or nodeCollapsing events after doubleClick that can be cancelled.

Hope this is helpful for you!

That's just it, though.

If someone expands a node themselves it needs to work.  But if they double-click a node I want to perform my own action INSTEAD of expanding the node.

What would you recommend to meet this requirement?

Thanks,
Kevin

Hello Kevin Warnke,

As I previously said "We fire a separate nodeExpanding or nodeCollapsing events after doubleClick that can be cancelled."

I think I asked the wrong question :)

How can I tell in the nodeExpanding event that it is expanding because of a double click and not because the user clicked the [+] symbol next to the node?

Thanks,

Hi Kevin Warnke,

Well, you can create a flag variable, for example, raise it on double click and check if it's raised in the nodeExpanding handler:

var isDoubleClick = false;

// handler of ClientDoubleClick
function onClientDoubleClick()
{
   isDoubleClick = true;
}

// handler of ClientNodeExpanding
function onClientNodeExpanding(sender, args)
{
   if (isDoubleClick)
   {
      ...
      isDoubleClick = false;
   }
   else
   {
      ...
   }
}

Hope this is helpful for you!
