Differentiating between programatically and mouse click change event Posts

Hello,
I have a JqxDropDownList. In my program, I am setting checkItem through “jqxDropDownList(‘checkItem’, val);”. Similarly, by I am changing the value of dropdown with mouse two.

Both trigger the “checkChange” event. How can I distinguish that which event is triggered through function and which is through mouse click? A help would be highly appreciated.

Or If you can guide me that how to prevent one element to stop trigger one event at a specific movment.

Hello Dimitar,
thanks a lot for your kind reply. Unfortunately your suggested solution is not as I have asked.
I have a grid with dropdownlist as editor. I have multiple values in one grid cell (e.g. mouse,keyboard,screen). Now my idea is that when double click the cell and it enters into editmode with jqxdropdownlist. I want that when dropdownlist will open then the items “mouse,keyboard,screen” will be by default checked. Furthermore, when I click some more item then these will be added to the Cell value.

But the problem is that by setting the default item checked at opening the dropdown triggers the “checkChange” event. So I want to stop the event when item is programatically checked.

here is my code. You can see that “checkChange” event is fired two times. One is automatically and second of course on clicking the checkbox.

Hi Tahir Nazir,

Although this scenario is different, the solution is the same. While you cannot prevent the event from firing, you can differentiate between the two different check types (programmatic and mouse) with a flag variable, e.g.:

initeditor: function(row, cellvalue, editor, celltext, pressedChar) {
    editor.jqxDropDownList({
        source: firstNames,
        checkboxes: true
    });

    var programmatically = true;

    editor.jqxDropDownList("checkItem", cellvalue);

    editor.unbind('checkChange').on('checkChange', function(event) {
        if (programmatically === false) {
            console.log("Fired ", event);
        } else {
            programmatically = false;
        }
    });
}

Best Regards,
Dimitar
