Refresh page when double click table

[shamilh2o]

Hey Team,

When I double-click text on the table in order to select it, the table refreshes and then I lose my search filter.
Is this the normal behaviour? Any suggestion to overcome this and stop refreshing the page when I double click text on the table?

Thank you.

If multiple is set to False (default), each row in the table is clickable. When a row is clicked, the form is submitted automatically, and q.args.table_name is set to [row_name], where table_name is the name of the table, and row_name is the name of the row that was clicked on.

@mturoci probably worth adding to doc string that row is clicked means either clicking the link column OR double clicking.

@shamilh2o this is expected behavior - the app is not refreshing per se, it is sending a value back to the serve function in the form of q.args.TABLENAME:['ROW NAME CLICKED']. It's likely that your current app code creates the table in the serve function with no checks.

If you want users to pick a single row, double clicking the row is probably okay, yes? And if you want them to choose more than one row then you can just set multiple=True which will disable this feature.

Some repro code for anyone that wants to look:

from h2o_wave import main, app, Q, ui


@app('/')
async def serve(q: Q):
    print(q.args)

    if not q.client.initialized:
        q.page["table_card"] = ui.form_card(
            box="1 1 -1 -1",
            items=[
                ui.table(
                    name="table_test",
                    columns=[ui.table_column(x, x) for x in ["test1", "test2"]],
                    rows=[ui.table_row(str(i), ["hey", "ho"]) for i in range(10)],
                    height="600px",
                )
            ]
        )
        q.client.initialized = True

    await q.page.save()

Thanks @Far0n for jumping over here. What I actually need to do is not to select a single row. Just want to copy a content in a row cell (like the value 8361511 in video above). In that case if we double click on a text to highlight it before pressing "command + c" to copy, it cannot do since once we double click, table refreshes by sending value back to the serve function.

Can I set not to send table value to serve function when I double click on a row?

This is fairly simple to implement. Can you please file a feature request @shamilh2o? Thanks!

Sure @mturoci. Thanks!
