[SOLVED] problems when using DOUBLE_CLICK callback on a Button/Icon

[steve3d]

I need to create a Button/IconButton to work differently when user click or double click, but I found this problem, when I need the double click, there is always a CLICKED fired before and after this DOUBLE_CLICK callback, so the actual behavior of DOUBLE_CLICK on a button works like this:

 

CLICK,

DOUBLE_CLICK

CLICK,

 

so there is no way to capture a single double click on a button, to make this work, the only solution is to use the CTRL/ALT/SHIFT modify keys.

 

My problem is, is this designed behavior of double clicking a button/icon button?

This issue is system-related. First the system sends a click event, and only after that a double click one.

However, there's quite an easy workaround for that: you need to set a timeout after CLICK is received (in a separate thread). If there's no DOUBLE_CLICK after that, the app reacts according to a single-click logic.
