# DropdownViewEvent

typedef

Fired when an item inside the dropdown is executed.

**Note**: Only supported when dropdown was integrated with its child view using one of the helper functions: [`addListToDropdown`](module_ui_dropdown_utils.md#function-addListToDropdown), [`addToolbarToDropdown`](module_ui_dropdown_utils.md#function-addToolbarToDropdown), or [`addMenuToDropdown`](module_ui_dropdown_utils.md#function-addMenuToDropdown).

When integrated with a list, it fires when a child of one of [`ListItemView`](module_ui_list_listitemview-ListItemView.md)s fired `execute` event.

When integrated with a toolbar, it fires when one of the buttons has been [executed](module_ui_button_button-Button.md#event-execute).

When integrated with a nested menu, it fires when one of the menu buttons has been executed.

In each case, the event is delegated from the component which fired it. It does not have additional parameters and `event.source` is the original component.
