I've a combobox showing autocompletion.

I've added a listener for both onOK and onChange that throw the same event.

Is there a way for me detect when onChange and onOK are getting thrown at the same time so i don't get double event thrown?

Something like stopPropagation() that I could call.

Hello WilliamB,

  1. Create a boolean variable
  2. Once the event is triggered set the value to true and create a internal timer (thread independent) that would complete it's operation in an x amount of seconds so that you will prevent any other actions from being executed
  3. Once the timer is done set the variable again to false

Between us maybe you should not trigger both events, but if you apply the logic above it will work.

Best Regards,

Darksu

Well It's weird, if I do not add a "onOK" listener, the "onChange" event listeners is not triggered when i press Enter.

If I add a "onOK" listener, the "onChange" event listeners triggered when i press Enter.

So I just went and added a listener onOk that does nothing just to trigger onChange ...

Alright, I'm back on that issue.

I want that if the user press ENTER it triggers an event. Since the field is an autocomplete one, enter can trigger onChange.

But mouse click can also trigger onChange

I want to trigger the event whenever onChange or onOk is thrown BESIDE when the onOk also will trigger an onChange.

Is there no cleaner way to do this than to add a timer?

forward the onOk event to the onChange event?

Wouldnt that just retrigger onChange twice?
