Broadcaster Mouse Events - remove double click?

[DanH]

Very new to broadcasters.... I'm currently using

eqWatcher.attachToComponentMouseEvents("FloatingTile12", "All Callbacks", "Mouse Listener for FloatingTile12");

But I don't want to enable anything for double clicking with the mouse - Is there a way to be selective with mouse events?

@DanH In your callback function you can ignore the double click.

@d-healey Thanks currently I only have this in the callback:

if(event.drag || event.clicked  || event.hover)

Do I want a

if(event.doubleclick)
{
     ///Nothing Here
}

as well?

@DanH

Do the opposite and your code will be simpler.

if (!event.drag && !event.clicked && !event.hover)
    return;

// Put all your other stuff here

[DanH]

@d-healey Not sure I follow... do you mean like this?

eqWatcher.addListener("RefreshFunction", "sets the table data from FloatingTile12", function(component, event)
{
    if(event.drag || event.clicked  || event.hover)
    {
        for (k = 0; k < numOfNodes; k++)
		{
			//stuff happens

		}
		}
		
if (!event.drag && !event.clicked && !event.hover)
{
	return;
}

});

Instead of saying if this do this, say if not this don't do anything. It simplifies the code.

So in your case:

eqWatcher.addListener("RefreshFunction", "sets the table data from FloatingTile12", function(component, event)
{
    if (!event.drag && !event.clicked && !event.hover)
        return; // This means the function will exit here

    for (k = 0; k < numOfNodes; k++)
    {
        // stuff happens
    }
});

This is a good video about the principle:

@d-healey Oh I see Thanks!

[DanH]

@d-healey Ok so double clicking is still allowed.... Possibly because all those conditions are still actually met when double clicking...

[d.healey]

@DanH Try adding || event.doubleClick

[DanH]

@d-healey said in Broadcaster Mouse Events - remove double click?:

|| event.doubleClick

like this?

if (!event.drag && !event.clicked && !event.hover || event.doubleClick)

If so it doesn't change behaviour

@DanH Post a simple snippet

[DanH]

@d-healey ok turns out disabling double click with the broadcaster wouldn't ever help but I managed to edit the source code to get the desired effect :)

Thanks for the help! Always learning :man_student:
