Events

Worksheets in SpreadJS have their own events that can be bound to specific actions when those events occur. In the workbook below, follow the instructions in the cells to see the message that we have created for specific user interaction events in the spreadsheet.

You can bind sheet events using the bind and unbind methods for the sheet. You can also use the unbindAll method to unbind all the events. As with jQuery's bind and unbind, you can handle the sheet's bind and unbind, as shown in the following code: When you want to perform tasks that might trigger several events, and you don't want the sheet to trigger these events, use the suspendEvent method to keep the events from occurring. After the tasks are complete, you can use the resumeEvent method to resume triggering events, as shown in the following example:
var spreadNS = GC.Spread.Sheets; window.onload = function () { var spread = new GC.Spread.Sheets.Workbook(document.getElementById("ss"), { sheetCount: 1 }); initSpread(spread); }; function initSpread(spread) { var sheet = spread.getSheet(0); sheet.suspendPaint(); setStatus(sheet); sheet.setValue(2, 2, "Click me and input a char with your keyboard!"); sheet.addSpan(2, 2, 1, 5); sheet.getRange(2, 2, 1, 5).setBorder(new spreadNS.LineBorder("Black", spreadNS.LineStyle.thin), { all: true }); sheet.setValue(4, 2, "Double-click the empty cell with the black border!"); sheet.addSpan(4, 2, 1, 5); sheet.addSpan(5, 2, 1, 5); sheet.getRange(5, 2, 1, 5).setBorder(new spreadNS.LineBorder("Black", spreadNS.LineStyle.thin), { all: true }); sheet.setValue(7, 2, "Double-click me!"); sheet.addSpan(7, 2, 1, 5); sheet.getRange(7, 2, 1, 5).setBorder(new spreadNS.LineBorder("Black", spreadNS.LineStyle.thin), { all: true }); sheet.setValue(9, 2, "Double-click the empty cell with the black border and click it again!"); sheet.addSpan(9, 2, 1, 7); sheet.addSpan(10, 2, 1, 5); sheet.getRange(10, 2, 1, 5).setBorder(new spreadNS.LineBorder("Black", spreadNS.LineStyle.thin), { all: true }); sheet.resumePaint(); sheet.bind(GC.Spread.Sheets.Events.ColumnChanging, function (sender, info) { //insert column if (info.propertyName === "addColumns") { _getElementById("status").innerHTML = "ColumnChanging event called!"; _getElementById("showSheetEvents").innerHTML = "ColumnChanging: addColumns(" + "column: " + info.col + ")"; } //delete column if (info.propertyName === "deleteColumns") { _getElementById("status").innerHTML = "ColumnChanging event called!";
