Managing organization chart events

An OrgChart control can fire several kinds of specific event in response to user interactions. You can create an event handler for each of these events.

For example, if you register a listener for an itemClick event on an OrgChart class, this listener is called every time an item is clicked. The listener can then access the data for this item.

You can listen for the following OrgChart data events.
