[Dynapi-Dev] To all; Re drag events. (and other events)

[Doug M. <do...@cr...>]

I have seen a lot of question latly which should be cleared up with the =
following.

I found that when dragging my toolbar on a slower machine that =
eveerything got VERY choppy.

So I applied and old Visual Basic fix and everything smothed out.

The premis of the fix is that an event can be called while the code of =
the same event is still executing from the last call.

So here is what I did.

In the tool bar I added a property called dragging.

this is treated as a boolean switch and is used as shown below:

 l.ondragmove=3Dfunction(e) {
  e.setBubble(false);
  var o=3De.getTarget();
  if (!o.dragging){
   o.dragging=3Dtrue;
   o.moveTo(e.pageX-10,e.pageY-10);
   o.dragging=3Dfalse;
  }
 }

so.. if the code from the previous call is still executeing =
(o.dragging=3Dtrue) then don't try to execute the code again.

This has made the dragging of my toolbar MUCH more smoother, and I =
believe that such a=20
switch can be used to clear up MANY similar event-based problems..

Such as in a resize event, or a mousemove event.

Later.
