Hi,
I have an icon which when a user clicks, it will delete a thing. In order to prevent users clicking accidentally and avoid the need for a confirmation popup, I’d like the delete action to only take place on a double click.
Does anyone have a solution for this?
Thanks
Alan
You can create a custom state for that icon(number). Set default 0.
When the icon it’s clicked set state ⇾ That icon state ⇾ +1
Add condition when the icon state is 2 ⇾ Delete thing.
However, isn’t better when the delete icon is pressed to show an alert (popup) with are you sure: yes | no election?
Agree with @yusaney1 - would be much better and more intuitive to create a specific confirm option via popup or groupfocus.
Or you can look at this which is pretty close but still quite intuitive: Dead simple button with self confirmation
Thanks, such an obvious solution. Can’t believe I didn’t think of it.
It’s an internal business app, and it flags for deletion rather than actually deleting then there’s a scheduled deletion api that runs a couple days later. the popups are a pain, particularly when its quite easy for us to reverse the deletion flag. But it’s too easy to single click by accident.
Thanks.
This is an excellent thread thanks. I will implement this instead. Much more intuitive.
