Right mouse double click

[jjr459]

Experts,

How do you prevent a person clicking the right mouse button in quick succession from being interpreted by Visual
Basic as a double-click?

Who programmed this screwy querk into Visual Basic functionality anyway? Other Windows programs don't interpret two quick right mouse clicks as a 'double-click'.

Thank you!

I think that's not how VB handles it, but how Windows handles it. Seems logical to me, how else do you want to be able to detect double-clicks?

What? "Right mouse" double-clicks. Try to double-click your right mouse button anywhere and it wont produce a double-click effect...only the left mouse button does that--except in Visual Basic?

How can you say right mouse double-clicks make sense?

Well, here's the reason why it makes sense:



(straight from the Win32 SDK)

The WM_RBUTTONDBLCLK message is posted when the user double-clicks the right mouse button while the cursor is in the client area of a window. If the mouse is not captured, the message is posted to the window beneath the cursor. Otherwise, the message is posted to the window that has captured the mouse.
