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.

.NET Core Server Settings

Use the OnPointerDown(String) method to specify the event handler.

@(Html.DevExpress().RichEdit("richEdit")
 .OnPointerDown("function(s,e){ /* your custom actions */ }")
 // ...

Client Settings

Use the pointerDown property to specify the event handler.

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

Runtime Settings

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

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.
