Hi.

I am using 'ADXIEHTMLDocEvents' component to intercept left/right click.
I can see the event is being called multiple times for single click.

Can you please why it so?

How can I avoid it?

Thanks.

Hi Ravi,

That is why you get multiple events. To obtain the information about the source of the event you can use the 'eventObject' argument of the event handler (you need t cast it to mshtml.IHTMLEventObj2).

Hi,

I have already converted 'eventObject' to mshtml.IHTMLEventObj2.

Problem is event is being called multiple times for single mshtml.IHTMLEventObj2 for single click.

Thanks.

Rave, please use the 'srcElement' property of the IHTMLEventObj2 interface to get the source element.
You can also use the following code to obtain the HTML element:

private void adxiehtmlDocEvents1_OnClick(object sender, object eventObject, ADXCancelEventArgs e)
{
int x = ((mshtml.IHTMLEventObj2) eventObject).x;
int y = ((mshtml.IHTMLEventObj2) eventObject).y;
mshtml.IHTMLElement2 elem =
ADXIEHelper.GetHTMLElementByPoint(this.HTMLDocument, x, y) as mshtml.IHTMLElement2;
if (elem != null)
{
}
}

Hi,

Here is my code :

private void adxiehtmlDocEvents1_OnContextMenu(object sender, object eventObject, ADXCancelEventArgs e)
{
mshtml.IHTMLEventObj2 eventObj = (mshtml.IHTMLEventObj2)eventObject;
mshtml.IHTMLElement element = eventObj.srcElement;

if (element != null)
{
MessageBox.Show(element.GetType().ToS tring());
}
}

I am trying this on "http://www.google.com/"

When I right click in search box, I get the message box 18 times.

When I right click on Google image, I get the message box 8 times.

Every time I am getting same message.

I doubt this event calling for all its parent in DOM structure.

Please help.

Thanks.

Hi Ravi,

When you connect to several HTML elements, IE returns the top object which has been clicked.
You can use the 'parentElement' property to get the parent HTML element(s). E.g. you can connect to HTML document only and use 'parentElement' to pass through all HTML element in the current hierarchy.
