  • 1.  Detect double click on toolbutton

    Posted 09-17-2019 06:35
    Hi
    I have a MapBasic 17application with a tool button where the user can plot multiple points, they then manually have to click a second button to activate some more code.
    I would like to enable them to be able to double click on the last point and then automatically fire the next set of code. The number of points plotted may vary.
    We already make use of detecting the shift and Crtl keys, although I could possibly use both together, but wondered if there a MapBasic or Dotnet event handler that can be used to detect a user has double clicked from a tool button, the current CommandInfo doesn't have this.
    Thanks
    David

    I believe you're looking for this event handler: IEventsCommon.MapWindowMouseDoubleClick Event.
    Can find an example of its use for MapBasic in the Samples folder of MapBasic Program Directory:
    \MapBasic\ProSpyMB\ProSpyMB_Events.mb

    Many thanks Bill,
    I will look into it, for now I must admit I've just used the combination of both shift +crtl keys to activate the required MapBasic code after plotting a point.
