Draft MDC Standard

9.1.5 Select Events

Select events are select and unselect events.

A select event, indicated by an etype value equal to "SELECT" occurs when a user selects a gadget or choice.

For a check box, a select event occurs when the check box is selected.

For a list box, list button, list entry, long list box, or table gadget, a select event occurs for each choice that is selected. Multiple select events may occur as a result of a single user action.

For a menu item, a select event occurs when a choice is selected.

For a push button, a select event occurs when the push button is pushed.

For a radio button set, a select event occurs when a choice is selected. If a choice was previously selected, an unselect event precedes it indicating that a choice was implicitly deselected.

For a scroll gadget, a select event occurs when user action causes the scroll gadget’s VALUE elattribute to change.

An unselect event, indicated by an etype value equal to "DESELECT" occurs when a user unselects a gadget or choice.

For a check box, an unselect event occurs when the check box is unselected.

For a list box, list button, list entry, long list box, or table gadget, an unselect event occurs for each choice that is unselected. For a list entry box gadget, an unselect event also occurs when a choice is selected and the user modifies the value of the list entry box. Multiple unselect events may occur as a result of a single user action.
