As far as I can tell a design choice - a bad and undocumented one. You can query the control panel double click timing with the WIn32 GetDoubleClickTime API. The mouse messages are no help in this area. I have seen Delphi code jump through hoops timing the arrival of mouse messages and making a comparison with the double click time so they can avoid taking action on a single click which later turns out to be the first half of a double click. That is a reasonable use of the double click time, using it for anything more as Protel does is abitrary. I would rather they set it from a random number generator at start up - at least it would be right some of the time. It was DXP (SP0) when I looked causing me to complain that interactive routing was broken. I didn't find it documented anyware in DXP - have you? Still we have only been complaining about this for 4 years. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * To post a message: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] * * To leave this list visit: * http://www.techservinc.com/protelusers/leave.html * * Contact the list manager: * mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] * * Forum Guidelines Rules: * http://www.techservinc.com/protelusers/forumrules.html * * Browse or Search previous postings: * http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED] * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
