if last_time - now < some number
the user did a double click
else
last_time = now> ----- Original Message -----

To act nicely, also check if the mouse has moved substantially, or a too
low interval between clicks, to avoid accidental double clicks.On Sun, 2004-06-27 at 00:31, Alan Wolfe wrote:

I don’t think it is possible to detect a double click EVENT (i.e. issued
by the OS/Windowing system, with system global interval etc.)

What you can do, as described by the others, is to determine double
clicks from the raw mouse events yourself.

However, this is still not a proper double click event, so you should
ideally make the interval user-configurable, and possibly include some
conditionally compiled OS-specific code to get system-wide settings.
