bright-gpu-74537
03/01/2023, 5:47 PMie, are all these events for the same component... which is possible / likely - a

03/01/2023, 5:50 PMthat seems a little odd - b

bright-gpu-74537

03/01/2023, 5:53 PMworks - a
ambitious-knife-25690
03/01/2023, 5:54 PMshould i put that in the event function? - b

bright-gpu-74537
03/01/2023, 5:55 PMin the mapEvent, yeah - b
bright-gpu-74537
03/01/2023, 5:56 PMbut doesnt really matter, i can see the events and they all make sense i think... you could argue that the itemrenderer one isnt needed, which would likely fix your specific issue, but there is bound to be other places here when parents and children are expecting mouse events (which is pretty normal) - a
ambitious-knife-25690
03/01/2023, 5:59 PMoh no, that is fair - a
ambitious-knife-25690
03/01/2023, 6:00 PMso i guess i'm in a bit of a limbo here - b
bright-gpu-74537
03/01/2023, 6:01 PMwell, your other option would be to track the mouse and handle everything like that yourself, but i can tell you that can be a real pain (ie, kha) - a

03/01/2023, 6:02 PMyeah, i never even checked this before but it looks like i can't even select the items of the dropdown - b
bright-gpu-74537
03/01/2023, 6:02 PMthat the same for listview? - a
ambitious-knife-25690
03/01/2023, 6:03 PMyep - a
ambitious-knife-25690
03/01/2023, 6:04 PMi can select checkboxes - b
bright-gpu-74537
03/01/2023, 6:04 PMmakes sense... each item has an up / down handler, but so does the parent list, for "drag to scroll" - a
ambitious-knife-25690
03/01/2023, 6:04 PMjust not items - b
billowy-waiter-28954
03/01/2023, 6:08 PMThat is not correct. The parent box will get the event if the even doesn't hit the area of the child box - b
bright-gpu-74537
03/01/2023, 6:09 PMOK, so that makes sense then, no? - b
