Servus Robert, QGuiApplication::processMouseEvent() consumes the second mouse press event and sends an additional QEvent::Type::MouseButtonDblClick if the time between two presses is within the double click interval (QGuiApplication::styleHints()->mouseDoubleClickInterval()).
That said, when the second press event is received, Qt doesn't know if it meets the criteria for a double click. The second press event has been sent for as long as I remember. That is, according to git blame, at least since 2017 ;-) Cheers Axel Confidential ________________________________ From: Interest <interest-boun...@qt-project.org> on behalf of Schimkowitsch Robert <robert.schimkowit...@andritz.com> Sent: Wednesday, 3 September 2025 11:43 To: interest@qt-project.org <interest@qt-project.org> Subject: Re: [Interest] Sequence of events in a double click A small correction: “ButtonDoubleRelease” does not exist.

Do not click on links or open attachments unless you know the sender and that the content is safe. Hi all, when you perform a double click on a mouse button (=pressing and releasing the mouse button in fast sequence twice), I have, over many years, always expected this sequence: ButtonPress ButtonRelease ButtonDoublePress ButtonDoubleRelease It is consistent with what I get when I trace the window events using Spy++ (on Windows, for context) on a simple application (not my own, since Spy++ crashes when encountering the hooks of a serious Qt application, and I currently don’t have a good replacement tool). However, in my Qt 6.8.2 application using a window event filter, I receive the following sequence: ButtonPress ButtonRelease ButtonPress ButtonDoublePress ButtonDoubleRelease The extra press confuses me. Is this as it should be? Kind regards Robert ________________________________ This message and any attachments are solely for the use of the intended recipients.
