Re: [Dynapi-Dev] events and dragevents debugging

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

I've been looking into events problems (ignoring bubbling) and found the
following issues. Some of these have been reported before. Oh, I've been
using a modified version of the mouseevents example html file which I'll
attach to this mail. It's quite useful for debugging, if people can =
think of
further test cases then they should add them :-)

Win32 IE is my yard stick. IE behave's mostly like I'd expect, so if =
other
browsers don't I reckon it's a bug.

IE:
If you enable dragging, then you cannot select form text, instead you =
drag
the window.

Are you using the IE text selection fix? Just wondering...


NS4:
If you enable dragevents, click and dblclick events are not fired.
Events are not picked up on the image (but they are using dynimage, so
what's the difference).


I came across that too, here was my problem/fix.
Problem: In NS, one could not click on the buttons at the far right of =
my toolbar..
(www.creative-workshop.com/demo/cwconcept.htm)
Solution: in the mousedown event of the buttons I disable dragging of =
the toolbar
and on mouseup I 'click' or perform tho code I would have put in onclick =
and re-enabled to drag events.
i.e.
    db1.onmousedown=3Dfunction(e){
        e.setBubble(false);
        DragEvent.disableDragEvents(ToolBar);
    }
    db1.onmouseup=3Dfunction(e){
        e.setBubble(false);
        dockClick(e);
        DragEvent.enableDragEvents(ToolBar);
 }
Unfortunatly you then have a problem with mousedown happening, but then =
the mouse moving off the object before comming up and the the mouseup =
doesn't get fired of course..
My solution for that was simple tho.. :-)
    var d1=3Dnew EventListener(DynAPI.document);
    d1.onmousemove=3Dfunction(e){
        e.setBubble(true);
    .......

        DragEvent.enableDragEvents(ToolBar);
    }
    DynAPI.document.addEventListener(d1);



NS6(using nicolajazz patch):
Events are still being fired twice.
When dragging is enabled you cannot select a form input to type into.

NS6(using my patch):
Double click events are not being fired.
I added something to events.js to allow forms to be selected when =
dragging
but the problem is probably with dragevent.js not events.js.

Some food for thought, better get back to the real work now...
