Description

If enabled, this event is reported when the user presses and then releases a mouse button twice within a short space of time. The duration of this time is set through the Windows Control Panel.

The event message reported as the result of ⎕DQ, or supplied as the right argument to your callback function, is a 6-element vector as follows :

[1] Object ref or character vector
[2] Event 'MouseDblClick' or 5
[3] Y y-position of mouse (number)
[4] X x-position of mouse (number)
[5] Button button double clicked (number)
1 = left button
2 = right button
4 = middle button
[6] Shift State sum of shift key codes (number)
1 = Shift key is down
2 = Ctrl key is down

In a graphical object (Circle, Ellipse, Image, Marker, Poly and Rect), the position of the mouse is reported relative to the top-left corner of its bounding rectangle.

If you enable MouseDown and MouseUp events in addition to MouseDblClick events, double-clicking a mouse button will generate the following sequence of events :

  1. MouseDown
  2. MouseUp
  3. MouseDblClick
  4. MouseUp
