You cannot do that: style sheet extensions and user input such as double-clicks are totally unrelated concepts. > The only way that I've seen as a possibility is to replace the CSS > extension with a ComponentFactory.

Using a standard Java[tm] AWT/Swing Component created using a ComponentFactory (rather an style extension) is certainly a clean and simple way to achieve what you want. http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/doc/dev/styleext.html#solution4 http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/doc/dev/styleext.html#solution1 (You could create a Gadget using a GadgetFactory, which is much more efficient than creating a Component, but doing so is not documented and is not officially supported: http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/doc/api/com/xmlmind/xmledit/gadget/Gadget.html Use the grabsMouseButton and handleMouseEvent methods to do something when the Gadget is double-clicked. http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/doc/api/com/xmlmind/xmledit/styledview/GadgetFactory.html Gadgets returned by GadgetFactory must implement the StyledElementViewPart interface. http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/doc/api/com/xmlmind/xmledit/styledgadget/TextLabel.html TextLabel is a simple styled Gadget http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/doc/api/com/xmlmind/xmledit/styledview/TextLabelVP.html TextLabelVP is a TextLabel which implements the StyledElementViewPart interface.)
