Ext Js Button

[ramesbabu]

Hi,
I'm using Extjs button for save operation,

new Ext.Button({
text: 'Save',
id:'save_id',
width:'108px',
height: '25px',
renderTo: 'save_button',
listeners: {
click: function(){ save(); }
}});

I'm calling this method by F9 (functional key on keyboard) and
also by on click with mouse.

By F9:

document.onkeyup = function (e) {
var unicode=e.keyCode? e.keyCode : e.charCode;
if(unicode==120){
Ext.getCmp('save_id').fireEvent("click", this);
}
}


while simultaneously access using keyboard and mouse , save function called for two times
but my requirement is , the function should called once even though accessed by keyboard and mouse.
Please guide me to resolve this parallel issue.

First, I wouldn't fire the click event. I would use the handler config on the button and then execute the handler method on the button.

So you only want to fire save once per x amount of time or while an action is taken?

If while an action is taken I would set a variable or property to say that the action is pending and when the action is finished change that var/prop so that the save method will continue to fire (of course the save method should check the var/prop to allow it to continue to execute).

If after x amount of time, same as above only set the var/prop as a date object and then check the difference between that var/prop with the current time and if the difference is more than your x amount of time then allow the save method to continue to execute.

Hi Dude,
Can you give some examples about this parallel issue, It is possible without time factor.

This is just basic JS logic.

Set a global/namespaced variable:

var currentlySaving;

Then when you call the save function:

if(currentlySaving != true) {
    save()
}

Then in your save function:

currentlySaving = true;
// Save logic here
currentlySaving = false;

Thanks a lot... willigogs and mitchellsimoens

I wouldn't do a global variable. Functions are really objects and can have properties (watch out for memory leaks tho)
