1# Click Event
2
3A click event is triggered when a component is clicked.

5>  **NOTE**
6>
7>  The APIs of this module are supported since API version 7. Updates will be marked with a superscript to indicate their earliest API version.

9## onClick<sup>12+</sup>
10
11onClick(event: Callback\<ClickEvent>, distanceThreshold: number): T
12
13Called when a click event occurs.
14
15Compared to the original **onClick** API, this API has the **distanceThreshold** parameter that specifies the movement threshold for click events. If the finger's movement exceeds the set threshold, the gesture recognition will fail.
16For scenarios where there is no restriction on the finger movement distance during a click, the original API is recommended. If there is a requirement for the finger to stay within a certain area during the click, this API is recommended.
17
18**Widget capability**: This API can be used in ArkTS widgets since API version 12.
19
20**Atomic service API**: This API can be used in atomic services since API version 12.

24**Parameters**
25
26| Name| Type                             | Mandatory| Description                |
27| ------ | --------------------------------- | ---- | -------------------- |
28| event  | [ClickEvent](#clickevent) | Yes  | [ClickEvent](#clickevent) object.|
29| distanceThreshold  | number | Yes  | Movement threshold for click events. If the value specified is less than or equal to 0, it will be converted to the default value.<br>Default value: 2^31-1<br>**NOTE**<br>If the finger movement exceeds the preset movement threshold, the gesture recognition fails. If the default threshold is used during initialization and the finger moves beyond the component's touch target, the gesture recognition fails.|

86## Example
87
88This example shows how to configure a click event for a button. By doing so, you can obtain relevant parameters of the click event when the button is pressed.

90```ts
91// xxx.ets
92@Entry
93@Component
94struct ClickExample {
95  @State text: string = ''
96
97  build() {
98    Column() {
99      Row({ space: 20 }) {
100        Button('Click').width(100).height(40)
101          .onClick((event?: ClickEvent) => {
102            if(event){
103              this.text = 'Click Point:' + '\n  windowX:' + event.windowX + '\n  windowY:' + event.windowY
104              + '\n  x:' + event.x + '\n  y:' + event.y + '\ntarget:' + '\n  component globalPos:('
105              + event.target.area.globalPosition.x + ',' + event.target.area.globalPosition.y + ')\n  width:'

107            }
108          }, 20)
109        Button('Click').width(200).height(50)
110          .onClick((event?: ClickEvent) => {
111            if(event){
112              this.text = 'Click Point:' + '\n  windowX:' + event.windowX + '\n  windowY:' + event.windowY

116            }
117          }, 20)
118      }.margin(20)

120      Text(this.text).margin(15)
121    }.width('100%')
