Re: Set DoubleClickInterval very low!

All I was pointing out was that the current mechanism means you need to put in shim doubleMouse handlers in the controls which don't respond to double clicks *and* you have to write more code if you want to handle triple click. A simpler pattern (I think at least) is the one I suggested where

Re: Set DoubleClickInterval very low!

In order for you to be able to do completely different things on click and double click you need to wait and see if a double click occurs before the doubleClickInterval and if it does not *then* do the single click action. After all, the engine is not clairvoyant. This is why click then double

You can use the global property the scriptExecutionErrors To obtain this list. Note that this does not work in a standalone so if you need it you'll have to set a custom property on an included stack or something like that. On Thu, 4 Aug 2016 at 10:29, Lyn Teyla wrote: >
