The pointercancel
event is fired when the browser determines that there are unlikely to be any more pointer events, or if after the pointerdown
event is fired, the pointer is then used to manipulate the viewport by panning, zooming, or scrolling.
Some examples of situations that will trigger a pointercancel
event:
touch-action
CSS property prevents the input from continuing.Note: After the pointercancel
event is fired, the browser will also send pointerout
followed by pointerleave
.
Use the event name in methods like addEventListener()
, or set an event handler property.
addEventListener("pointercancel", (event) => { })
onpointercancel = (event) => { }
Event type Event properties
This interface inherits properties from MouseEvent
and Event
.
PointerEvent.altitudeAngle
Read only Experimental
Represents the angle between a transducer (a pointer or stylus) axis and the X-Y plane of a device screen.
PointerEvent.azimuthAngle
Read only Experimental
Represents the angle between the Y-Z plane and the plane containing both the transducer (a pointer or stylus) axis and the Y axis.
PointerEvent.persistentDeviceId
Read only Experimental
A unique identifier for the pointing device generating the PointerEvent
.
PointerEvent.pointerId
Read only
A unique identifier for the pointer causing the event.
PointerEvent.width
Read only
The width (magnitude on the X axis), in CSS pixels, of the contact geometry of the pointer.
PointerEvent.height
Read only
The height (magnitude on the Y axis), in CSS pixels, of the contact geometry of the pointer.
PointerEvent.pressure
Read only
The normalized pressure of the pointer input in the range 0
to 1
, where 0
and 1
represent the minimum and maximum pressure the hardware is capable of detecting, respectively.
PointerEvent.tangentialPressure
Read only
The normalized tangential pressure of the pointer input (also known as barrel pressure or cylinder stress) in the range -1
to 1
, where 0
is the neutral position of the control.
PointerEvent.tiltX
Read only
The plane angle (in degrees, in the range of -90
to 90
) between the YâZ plane and the plane containing both the pointer (e.g., pen stylus) axis and the Y axis.
PointerEvent.tiltY
Read only
The plane angle (in degrees, in the range of -90
to 90
) between the XâZ plane and the plane containing both the pointer (e.g., pen stylus) axis and the X axis.
PointerEvent.twist
Read only
The clockwise rotation of the pointer (e.g., pen stylus) around its major axis in degrees, with a value in the range 0
to 359
.
PointerEvent.pointerType
Read only
Indicates the device type that caused the event (mouse, pen, touch, etc.).
PointerEvent.isPrimary
Read only
Indicates if the pointer represents the primary pointer of this pointer type.
Using addEventListener()
:
const para = document.querySelector("p");
para.addEventListener("pointercancel", (event) => {
console.log("Pointer event cancelled");
});
Using the onpointercancel
event handler property:
const para = document.querySelector("p");
para.onpointercancel = (event) => {
console.log("Pointer event cancelled");
};
