Override default expand behaviour on Timeline group click

I'm trying to find a way to override the default expand/collapse behaviour when clicking on a Group element in a VisJS Timeline.

I'd like to allow other actions from the group contents, and invoke the expand/collapse action programmatically from somewhere else in the UI.

I'm been looking into the code in the v4.21, but I don't seem to find a way to override the _onGroupClick on the ItemSet.

Any suggestions on how to achieve this in the most elegant way? (trying to avoid monkey patching)

thanks,

  • I've been looking for the same solution, and I found the solution just here

    In my case, I just use the 'off' to disconnect the toggle from the general first cell of each row. Then I manually change the showNested property of the groups and call setGroups to open, in this way I can show the action exactly in the item I want not in the whole cell.
