JavaScript/jQuery UI Events API
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
var dxholdHandler = function(jQueryEvent) {
alert(`The ${$(jQueryEvent.target).text()} element is being 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
import { on, trigger, off } from "devextreme/events";
// ...
export class AppComponent implements AfterViewInit {
ngAfterViewInit() {
const dxholdHandler = (event) => {
alert(`The ${event.target.textContent} element is being 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);
}
}Knockout
<div id="target" data-bind="dxhold: { execute: dxholdHandler, timeout: 1000 }">
Target element
</div>
var viewModel = {
dxholdHandler: function(viewModel, jQueryEvent) {
alert(`The ${$(jQueryEvent.target).text()} element is being held for ${jQueryEvent.data.timeout} ms.`);
}
}See Knockout documentation for details.
AngularJS
<div id="target" dx-hold="{ execute: 'dxholdHandler($event)', timeout: 1000 }">
Target element
</div>
angular.module("DemoApp", ["dx"])
.controller("DemoController", function DemoController($scope) {
$scope.dxholdHandler = function(jQueryEvent) {
alert(`The ${$(jQueryEvent.target).text()} element is being held for ${jQueryEvent.data.timeout} ms.`);
}
});dxclick
Event
Event (jQuery or EventObject)
The event that caused the function to execute. It is a dxEvent or a jQuery.Event when you use jQuery.
The native click event waits 300 ms after the element was clicked. This time interval is required to wait for the second click. If a user clicks the element one more time during this time span, the dblclick event is raised instead of the click. The dxclick event is raised immediately after the element is clicked.
See Also
dxcontextmenu
Raised when the right mouse button is clicked on the element or when the element is held during a specified time period.

dxhold
Event
Event (jQuery or EventObject)
The event that caused the function to execute. It is a dxEvent or a jQuery.Event when you use jQuery.
To specify the time span after which the event is raised, pass the object containing the timeout property to the function subscribing to the event.
If you need to subscribe to dxhold for two elements that are in the parent-child relationship, make sure that the timeout of the parent element is equal or longer than that of the child. The following example illustrates the case when the parent's timeout is longer:
jQuery
<div id="parent">
Parent element
<div id="child">
Child element
</div>
</div>
$(function() {
var dxholdHandler = function() {
alert(`${event.data.elemName} was held for ${event.data.timeout} ms.`);
return true; // true - continues event propagation, false - stops
});
$("#parent").on("dxhold", { timeout: 1000, elemName: 'Parent' }, dxholdHandler);
$("#child").on("dxhold", { timeout: 750, elemName: 'Child' }, dxholdHandler);
});
