1# Click Event 2 3A click event is triggered when a component is clicked. 4 5> **NOTE** 6> 7> The event is supported since API version 7. Updates will be marked with a superscript to indicate their earliest API version. 8> 9> For details about the event distribution process, see [Multi-level Gesture Events](../../../ui/arkts-gesture-events-multi-level-gesture.md). 10 11## onClick<sup>12+</sup> 12 13onClick(event: Callback\<ClickEvent>, distanceThreshold: number): T 14 15Called when a click event occurs. 16 17When the click event is triggered by a keyboard or game controller, the value of **SourceTool** is **Unknown**. 18 19Compared with the original **onClick** API, this API has the **distanceThreshold** parameter that specifies the finger movement threshold for click events. If the finger's movement exceeds the set threshold, the gesture recognition will fail. 20For 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. 21 22**Widget capability**: This API can be used in ArkTS widgets since API version 12. 23 24> **NOTE** 25> 26> Since API version 12, the following constraints apply when this API is used in service widgets: 27> 1. Click events will not be triggered if the finger is pressed for more than 800 ms. 28> 2. Click events will not be triggered if the finger moves more than 20 px after pressing down. 29 30**Atomic service API**: This API can be used in atomic services since API version 12. 31 32**System capability**: SystemCapability.ArkUI.ArkUI.Full 33 34**Parameters** 35 36| Name| Type | Mandatory| Description | 37| ------ | --------------------------------- | ---- | -------------------- | 38| event | [ClickEvent](#clickevent) | Yes | [ClickEvent](#clickevent) object.| 39| distanceThreshold | number | Yes | Finger movement threshold for click events.
