Tracy, That's what I've done but it is a real kludge as for this particular application I have a comms program timer running in the background and it just seems to screw everything up.
Also, I wanted to use whatever the solution is in my VFPOrganiser project to drag/drop appointments into the waste basketbut allow the user to double click on an appointment to edit it, which is fairly standard Windows bahaviour. For the moment I've got aound it by programatically activating Drag/Drop when the user Right Clicks in a textbox but it doesn't "feel" correct - know what I mean?

My problem is that once you set up: This.drag(1) in the Mousedown event or evan make Dragmode=1 (Automatic), you automatically mask out the DoubleClick() event which never fires. Ideally I need to allow drag/drop and doubleclick and apart from some really messy "kludging" or making drag/drop fire on the RightClick() event, I can't seem to work out an easy way of doing it. In simple terms I want to only activate drag/drop when I hold the Right mouse button down for more than 2 x seconds continouosly, otherwise continue as normal. Thanks in anticipation - unless I have a brain restart in the meantime!. Dave Crozier -----Original Message----- Only thing that comes to mind is a timer control for the delayed action you want.
