Element: gotpointercapture event
The gotpointercapture event is fired when an element captures a pointer using setPointerCapture().
Syntax
Use the event name in methods like addEventListener(), or set an event handler property.
addEventListener("gotpointercapture", (event) => { })
ongotpointercapture = (event) => { }
Event type
A PointerEvent. Inherits from Event.
Examples
This example gets a <p> element and listens for the gotpointercapture event. It then calls setPointerCapture() on the element on a pointerdown event, which will trigger gotpointercapture.
const para = document.querySelector("p");
para.addEventListener("gotpointercapture", () => {
console.log("I've been captured!");
});
para.addEventListener("pointerdown", (event) => {
para.setPointerCapture(event.pointerId);
});
The same example, using the ongotpointercapture event handler property:
const para = document.querySelector("p");
para.ongotpointercapture = () => {
console.log("I've been captured!");
};
para.addEventListener("pointerdown", (event) => {
para.setPointerCapture(event.pointerId);
});
