DevExtreme provides UI events for processing a user's interaction with a specific UI element. The DevExpress.events namespace exposes an API to work with the UI events.

The following code shows how to attach, trigger and then detach a dxhold event handler from a page element with the target ID. The timeout parameter specifies how long the target should be held to allow the handler to execute:

jQuery
JavaScript
var dxholdHandler = function(jQueryEvent) {
    alert(`The ${$(jQueryEvent.target).text()} element was held for ${jQueryEvent.data.timeout} ms.`);
};

$("#target").on("dxhold", { timeout: 1000 }, dxholdHandler); 
$("#target").trigger("dxhold");
$("#target").off("dxhold", dxholdHandler);

See jQuery documentation for details.

Angular
JavaScript
import { on, trigger, off } from "devextreme/events";
// ...
export class AppComponent implements AfterViewInit {
    ngAfterViewInit() {
        const dxholdHandler = (event) => {
            alert(`The ${event.target.textContent} element was held for ${event.data.timeout} ms.`);
            return true; // true - continues event propagation, false - stops
        }
        const target: HTMLElement = document.getElementById("target");

        on(target, "dxhold", { timeout: 1000 }, dxholdHandler);
        trigger(target, "dxhold");
        off(target, "dxhold", dxholdHandler);
    }
}

</div>
var viewModel = {
    dxholdHandler: function(viewModel, jQueryEvent) {
        alert(`The ${$(jQueryEvent.target).text()} element was held for ${jQueryEvent.data.timeout} ms.`);
    }
}
NOTE
