Events not fired in MenuBar

Why events like Click, MouseDown, MouseClick, MouseEnter are not fired in the MenuBar component? What am I missing to do?

Hi Sergio,

That’s actually correct, the MenuBar should not trigger those events, since it’s a Menu.

You still have access to the MenuItemClick event and any other event associated with a MenuItem.

May I ask why you would need to use those Pointer events in particular?

Best,
Alaa

    Hi Alaa! The long answer is: It’s because when maximizing the form on the desktop, I choose to hide the title bar (FormBorderStyle = None). Thus, the menu bar (whether MainMenu or MenuBar) becomes a pseudo title bar. When double-clicking on it, the form returns to its normal state (WindowState = Normal, also changing the title bar visible via FormBerderStyle = Sizeable), that is, MainMenu or MenuBar with the same behavior as when double-clicking on the title bar. The short answer: It’s because there are events that I could use… (lol) I wondered if there was any way to intercept (addhandling) the mouse click or double click on a specific area of the screen, and when it was on the MenuBar (or MainMenu), I could perform the maximize/normal procedure, once these events don’t work properly in MenuBar. Best wishes, Sérgio

    Well, Fortunately for you, with Wisej.NET you can do just that! Add the code below to your Form Load event handler, or better yet if you’re going to use the same behavior in more than one place, I would suggest that you extend the MenuBar component in another class and call it when it’s initialized! this.menuBar1.Eval(@” this.addListener(“”pointerup””, (e)=>this.fireEvent(“”mouseup””), this); this.addListener(“”pointerout””, (e)=>this.fireEvent(“”mouseout””), this); this.addListener(“”pointerover””, (e)=>this.fireEvent(“”mouseover””), this); this.addListener(“”pointerdown””, (e)=>this.fireEvent(“”mousedown””), this); this.addListener(“”click””, (e)=>this.fireEvent(“”click””), this); this.addListener(“”dbltap””, (e)=>this.fireEvent(“”dblclick””), this);”); Make sure to double check the object name and the quotations as the forum has its own special way of dealing with quotes :)

    Awesome! It’s working fine right now with these “tricks”! Thank you so much, Alaa! Greetings!

Hi Alaa,

Se the sample attached. What I noticed is that the events are fired when we click on the border, but clicking inside the MenuBar, nothing happens…

Thank you in advance!

Hi Sergio,

Are you sure that everything is wired? I just tried it and it works!

Perhaps you can send me a sample?

Best,
Alaa
