List Item Double click event on selected Item

In this example, let us see how we can handle the double click event on list item on the selected item.
Before going into example, we will see the concepts

Custom Renderer

Listbox allow developers to separate the view and the model by implementing ListModel . Once the model is assigned (with Listbox.setModel(org.zkoss.zul.ListModel) ), the display of the listbox is controlled by the model, and an optional renderer. The model is used to provide data, while the renderer is used to provide the custom look.

                    throws Exception {
                Person value = (Person) arg1;
                item.appendChild(new Listcell(value.getLastName()));

    public void onDoubleClicked(Event event) throws Exception {
        // get the selected object
        Listitem item = listPerson.getSelectedItem();
        Person p1= (Person) item.getAttribute("data");
        Messagebox.show(p1.getFirstName());
        }
    
    public List<Person> getPersons1() {
        return persons;
    }

}

Now you can run the zul file and double click on the Lisitem.
