Bing Maps V8 dispatchevent not working

Question

When clicking on a pushpin, need to programmatically click on something else.

Microsoft.Maps.Events.addHandler(layer, 'click', function(evt){
            console.log("layerHandler");
            simulateClick();
        });

function simulateClick() {
            console.log("in simulateClick");
          const event = new MouseEvent('click', {
            //view: window,
            bubbles: true,
            cancelable: false
          });
          const elem = [some div]
          console.log("elem: " + elem);

          elem.dispatchEvent(event);
        }

simulateClick() works great on its own, outside the Microsoft.Maps.Events.addHandler code block.

The dispatchEvent does not work when simulateClick is called from inside the Microsoft.Maps.Events.addHandler code block. I see all the console messages, but dispatchEvent does not work.

Have spent 3 days trying to troubleshoot. I understand the MS team has worked hard to provide a Bing Maps product but there have been more than a few bugs that I have wasted several days to discover. I expect better from Microsoft.

Please fix.

Also no tags for bing maps and can't enter custom tags. Aggravated and frustrated. What is going on here.

Answer 1

Nvm it was because of event bubbling. My bad lol
