dojo/on multiple map events

BenFousek — Sat, 29 Jun 2013 22:42:00 GMT

dojo/on supports multiple event listeners like:

dijit.byId('test').on('click, contextmenu', function() {
 alert('hi')
});

however multiple events don't work on a map:

//this doesn't work
app.map.on('mouse-move, mouse-drag', function(evt) {
 //do something or other
});
//neither does this
app.map.on('click, contextmenu', function(evt) {
 //do something or other
});

Why is this and will it be possible in a future version?

Have you tried using the map events listed below?

Let me know if this helps!

I don't think esri classes support multiple event listeners with a single on style event. They register but don't fire.

It's not a big deal. I was trying to reduce code by using one listener for two events that do the same thing.
