How to use getSelection with cellClick accurately?

[roshini.davParticipant]

Hi,

Here is the code I have. It seems simple, but what I expect is that when I click on a cell and drag and release the mouse, then the selection should be the cells selected between these points. Problem is cellClick is called on mousedown only. Is there a way to detect mouseup, to the the getSelection working accurately with cellClick? With the given piece of code, after u drag and drop, you have to click on ANOTHER cell to get the selection correctly.

I wanted to provide an example and tried to replace the cellClick in your example code (url: https://jseditor.io/?key=jqxscheduler-events) with this, but when I test it out, the behavior is different from what I see. Here, it only gets the from and to of a single clicked cell (again on mousedown) and does not get the selection at all, even when I select and then click elsewhere. Not sure if it is because of my version, we are on 4.2.1.

$(“#scheduler”).on(‘cellClick’, function (event) {
var selection = $(‘#scheduler’).jqxScheduler(‘getSelection’);
if(selection !== null){
var from = selection.from;
var to = selection.to;
console.log(“selected from: ” + from.toString() + ” to: ” + to.toString());
};
});

Basically, what I’m trying to do is print the cell selection on mouseUp, i.e. I drag the mouse over a few cells and release it and I want to see the selected time printed on mouse release. Is this possible?
Also, I am using timeline view of JQX scheduler, if that makes a difference.

I appreciate your help.

Thanks,

Works perfectly if I use a button and bind with that, rather than the cellClick.
$(“#button”).on(‘click’, function (event) {

But I need on mouse up event, after selecting the cells.

I just used regular JS mouseup.. and it works!

$(“#scheduler”).on(“mouseup”, function (event) {
