Event Information

| Default Action | Selects an application and initiates any action associated with this event. |
Event Object Properties
Although event handlers in the DHTML Object Model do not receive parameters directly, a handler can query an event object for data.
| Property | Description |
|---|---|
| application | Read-only. Object that denotes the XML definition of the application that is opened. This property is DEPRECATED. It is recommended to use the applicationDefinition property instead. |
| applicationDefinition | Read-only. Object that denotes the XML definition of the application opened. |
| data | Variant that contains data that is passed to the application as a second parameter to the select method of the application component. If the select() method is as a result of a tree operation, then the data property contain the following properties in addition to custom properties. |
| exploreType | String that denotes the type of the operation involved. It can be "expand" or "select". |
| menuItem | Object that contains the XML reference of the TreeItem that caused the event. |

Example
The following example demonstrates the use of the onselect event.
//Script that calls the application's select method in the parent page
application.select(newApplication, someData);
<!-- HTML definition in the new application opened -->
<HTML onselect="selectApplication()">
//Script for onselect function handler
function selectApplication()
{
application.notify("Data : " + event.data);
application.notify("Explore type : " + event.exploreType);
//Look at the application definition
application.notify("Application Definition \n\n : " + application.event.applicationDefinition.xml);
}
Note: For onselect event to be fired for standalone applications and for applications loaded in iframe or in wizard steps, the url should contain the data as query string with value as xml string. Example, /cordys/wcp/testonselect.htm?data="<data/>".
