Trace all events in ListView in React ListView component

12 May 2022 / 3 minutes to read

The ListView component triggers events based on its actions. The events can be used as extension points to perform custom operations. Refer to the following steps to trace the ListView events:

Render the ListView with dataSource, and bind the actionBegin, actionComplete, and select events.
Perform custom operations in actionBegin,actionComplete, and select events.
Provide event log details for actionBegin and actionComplete events, and they will be displayed in the event trace panel when the ListView action starts and the dataSource bound successfully.
Get the selected item details from the SelectEventArgs in the select event, and display the selected list item text in the event trace panel while selecting list items.
Use clear button to remove event trace information.
