illustrator CC ScriptUI addEventListener('click', …) doesn't work.

Report · Mar 03, 2014

Hello,

It just a report for others.

I tried to catch 'click' event on Button of ScriptUI through 'addEventListener' on illustratorCC.

However it doesn't work. CS6 and under the version, it works well. The problem is CC only.

I have already searched about it in the forum, and I could find the similar situation on AfterEffectsCC forum below.

I checked that illustratorCC is also can use only 'mousedown' event, but not to be able to use 'mouseup' and 'click'.

And I tested below codes.

function clickHandler(e)

{

alert("ok");

}

dlg.btnPnl.btn1.onClick = clickHandler; // It works ! The both of click and enter key.

dlg.btnPnl.btn1.addEventListener('mousedown', clickHandler); // It works only click. Enter key doesn't work..

dlg.btnPnl.btn1.addEventListener('click', clickHandler); // It doesn't work..

dlg.btnPnl.btn1.addEventListener('mouseup', clickHandler); // It doesn't work..

It seems to be the best solutions is using

button.onClick = clickHandler;

However I think it might be the common bug on Adobe CC series and it should be solved.
