    • preventDefault

      void preventDefault()
      Informs the browser that if the event is not explicitly handled, its default action should not be performed.

      For example, if you invoke this method for the event of the EventType.CLICK type, dispatching this event to the checkbox element as the event currentTarget will not toggle this checkbox.

      Throws:
      ObjectClosedException - if the event is closed

    • stopPropagation

      void stopPropagation()
      Informs the browser that the event should not propagate in the capturing and bubbling phases.
      Throws:
      ObjectClosedException - if the event is closed
