[Dynapi-Dev] To all; Re drag events. (and other events)

[Doug Melvin]

I have seen a lot of question latly which should be cleared up with the following.   I found that when dragging my toolbar on a slower machine that eveerything got VERY choppy.   So I applied and old Visual Basic fix and everything smothed out.   The premis of the fix is that an event can be called while the code of the same event is still executing from the last call.   So here is what I did.   In the tool bar I added a property called dragging.   this is treated as a boolean switch and is used as shown below:    l.ondragmove=function(e) {   e.setBubble(false);   var o=e.getTarget();   if (!o.dragging){    o.dragging=true;    o.moveTo(e.pageX-10,e.pageY-10);    o.dragging=false;   }  } so.. if the code from the previous call is still executeing (o.dragging=true) then don't try to execute the code again.   This has made the dragging of my toolbar MUCH more smoother, and I believe that such a switch can be used to clear up MANY similar event-based problems..   Such as in a resize event, or a mousemove event.   Later.
