PointerDownEvent Class

An event that occurs when a pointer becomes active.

Declaration

export class PointerDownEvent extends RichEditEvent<PointerEventArgs>

Remarks

For a mouse pointer, the PointerDown event occurs when a user presses a mouse button or wheel while the mouse pointer is over the Rich Text Editor. For touch and pen pointers, this event occurs when a pointer contacts a digitizer.

You can define the PointerDown event handler either at the server side, at the client side, or at runtime.

Use the pointerDown property to specify the event handler.

javascript

const options = DevExpress.RichEdit.createOptions();
options.events.pointerDown = function(s,e) { /* your custom actions */ };

The pointerDown property provides access to the addHandler(handler), removeHandler(handler), and clearHandlers methods that allow you to dynamically add and remove event handlers.

javascript

richEdit.events.pointerDown.addHandler(function(s, e) { /* your custom actions */ });

The event handler receives an argument of the PointerEventArgs type. The argument’s properties provide information specific to this event.
