Description

Description:
🕖
The following information is obsolete as of Arma 2 v1.00. Reason: Use ctrlAddEventHandler instead as it can stack event handlers.

Sets given event handler of given control: any previously added event handler is removed.

When using the event names listed here with the ctrlAddEventHandler, ctrlSetEventHandler, displayAddEventHandler or displaySetEventHandler commands, the prefix "on" in the event name must be removed (e.g. 'ButtonDown' instead of 'onButtonDown').
Groups:
GUI Control - Event HandlersEvent Handlers

Syntax

Syntax:
controlName ctrlSetEventHandler [handlerName, function]
Parameters:
controlName: Control
handlerName: String
function: String - should return a Boolean indicating that the event has handled this event fully or not and whether the engine should execute its default code or not afterwards
Return Value:
Nothing

Examples

Example 1:
_control ctrlSetEventHandler ["KeyDown", ""];
Example 2:
(_display displayCtrl 108) ctrlSetEventHandler ["LBSelChanged","['ListChange',_this] call FireEvents"];

This command doesn't work on map. waitUntil { !isNull (findDisplay 12 displayCtrl 51) }; (findDisplay 12 displayCtrl 51) ctrlSetEventHandler ["MouseButtonDblClick", "hint str _this; true"]; // doesn't skip the marker dialog as it should.
