Disable DoubleClick?

[Jim Davis]

Hey,

is there any way to disable an objects DoubleClick Event?.. ive created a commandbutton in picturebox, and the mousedown event draws when the user presses the button, then the mouseup releases that, but sometimes this event STOLES the handle from the mousedown/up and i cant modify the commandbuttons face, so i think my only way to do this, to disable this dbclick event... well, but how?!

any ideas?

thx,
Jim.

If there is no code in the Double-Click event, then nothing should happen, so I'm somewhat confused by the question.

well.. every time when im' clickin on the button, the mousedown event accept only the 2nd click. why? bcause the time between the 2 clicks is too short for the mouse events?
nope.. the double click event stole the handle from them.. anyway theres NOTHING in the dbclick event...

so.. if i cant turn off the dblclick check, then is there any other way to accept a mouse click?

ummm.. first of all i'll try the HEX(x) in the mousemove...

I've run into a similiar situation. I think I understand now.

It sounds like another control on your forum is not releasing its focus. The first click gives focus to your button, and the second executes whatever code you have making it seem as through you need to double click.

What control has focus before you click on the button? What is it doing?

nononoo. :X

well.. ive meand the 2nd click is at the same time, so, im pressing the button like the mad and then the button mousedown event cannot get the all of my clicks only the 2nd, 4th, 6th.. right?

ive some trouble with english, but i hope its clear for you now

It sounds like another control on your forum is not releasing its focus.

have you tried to use the mousemove event to catch the focus for that object?
Sub Object_MouseMove(..)
Object.SetFocus

i know its not very nice, but useful

What type of code do you have in your mousedown event?

What type of command button are you using? If you are using a third party button which was developed with MFC, you could run into problems on the mousedown event.

Would it be possible to see the code in for the button?

i think theres nothing to see, because the mousedown event just calls a sub where i'm draws the picture of a pressed button.

first of all, pls explain me whats MFC :> anyway this button is mine, it runs in a class.

well.. okay, heres it, but i think you cant figure out my problem without disabling the doubleclick preview... or if is there any other object, i can draw lines and text, and theres no doubleclick event, then share with me pls, because i havent found :|

anyway as you can see, the vb's commandbuttons havent doubleclick preview, just the click, and the mousedown/up events...

Jim,

I want to try and better understand where you are going with this project.

As for your first question. MFC stands for Microsoft Foundation Classes and they are used for creating various things in windows. They are for use in C++ only for right now.

My first question is: Do you have to have the button as a class? What I mean is I think the project would better be suited as an ActiveX control rather than a pure class object.

The major thing I see is you have the button_resize event firing 4-5 times every event depening on whether you click fast enough for the double click event to fire. Any time you use a command button, you have to decide which events you are going to use. The mousedown and click are going to fire everytime the button is pushed. There is no going around this unless you make a new button that functions different. The fact that you have code in your class for the click means its going to fire and the drawbutton sub will run.

Here is the sequence I see:

Button_MouseDown in Class fires
calls Drawbutton
Mousedown on form fires
calls button_resize
calls drawbutton
Button_Click fires
calls Drawbutton

This happens with every single click of the mouse button. When you are pressing the button fast like you mentioned, you are also causing the dblclick event to fire in there as well. I think this is the delay you are seeing.

I also noticed the mousemove event, this event is redrawing the button when the mouse is over it. Do you need the program to continuously redraw the button as a user moves the mouse over your form?

I hoe this helps. I will be more than happy to help you with anything you need. I see where you are going with the control and think it would best be served as an ActiveX control rather than a pure class object.

well..
button_resize is called only when the picturebox resized, and once first time in the init procedure (only once!) so, theres no frequently recall of that sub..

doubleclick.. yes, this thread exactly about that, i see and i know ive fired this event, but im never wanted! i'm want to use only the mousedown event, but when ive a double click, that will stoles the handle from the mouse down event, and i cant display a pressed button without this event...

I also noticed the mousemove event, this event is redrawing the button when the mouse is over it. Do you need the program to continuously redraw the button as a user moves the mouse over your form?

yes, as you can see the code isnt complete yet. its needed to redraw only if the button was pressed previously .. i'll fix that, but not that my problem yet

anyway, as you can see too, the drawbutton is a complete handle of the drawing, if you send a 0 code to this sub, then it will just display a normal-state button, if you send 1 it will draws a pressed button, or 2 then draws a disabled button.. or if you send the code 255, it just redraws the last known state (usefull when you changes the buttons caption only!)

Try this to fire the Click event in the DblClick sub:

Private Sub UserControl_DblClick()
RaiseEvent Click
End Sub

You are responding to a 17 years old thread, I hope the OP solved the problem by now, or googled how to remove CS_DBLCLKS style.
