I've got a pretty standard dataListBox on a pretty standard Zen page running a pretty standard query. My problem is that I can't get the onfocus or onclick events to fire.

Thanks in advance.

I tested this in the SAMPLES namespace on Cache for Windows (x86-64) 2018.1.2 (Build 309_5U) Wed Jun 12 2019 20:02:36 EDT. When clicking an item, I see the onchange alert. After double clicking the item I previously selected, I see the ondblclick alert.

It looks like the component's built in clickItem method does not call out to the contents of onclick. However, the component's dblClickItem method calls out to ondblclick.

I was trying to disable a button when something was clicked in the list. I got around it by checking that something was selected when the button was clicked. Kind of a pain, and weird, that onclick was a noshow. Thanks for the answer.

Try onchange instead of onclick.

I did. Also onfocus. Nothing from any of them.
