When adding a Doubleclick event to a listbox, it only is triggered when you double click on a cell.
So not on empty space in the listbox.
Is this a bug or a feature? Is it is a feature, how can we get a doubleclick action on the empty space?
What do you want to happen when empty space is double-clicked?
A lot and not relevant regarding the above question.
I just want a double click to trigger an event when in an empty space.
I use a subclassed Listbox with this method added that returns a Boolean. It was posted on the forums somewhere here a while back. Call this from the MouseUp event:
If Me.WasDoubleClick = True Then
// do whatever you need to do
End If
and here is the WasDoubleClick function:
[code]Dim doubleClickTime As Integer
#If TargetCocoa Then
doubleClickTime = 30
#ElseIf TargetWin32 Then
'Declare Function GetDoubleClickTime Lib “User32.DLL” As Integer
'doubleClickTime = GetDoubleClickTime / 1000 * 60
doubleClickTime = 30 ’ or use the Declare above if you want to use the DoubleClick time from system
#EndIf
If (Ticks - mLastClickTicks) <= doubleClickTime Then
Return True
End If
mLastClickTicks = Ticks[/code]
mLastClickTicks is a property added to the Subclassed ListBox.
Thank you Merv !
