Visual Basic :: Trying To Get A Control To Fire A Double Click Event

Is It Possible To Disable The Double Click Event Of A Control?
I'd like the user to be able to click very quickly on a variey of controls (like labels etc) and catch the mouse up and down events (or click).

BUT, if the user clicks too quickly the double click event fires, skips the mouse down and then processors the mouse up!

so clicking 5 times very quickly on a label produces

DOWN->UP->DOUBLECLICK->UP->DOWN->UP->DOUBLECLICK->UP->DOWN->UP

instead of ....

DOWN->UP->DOWN->UP->DOWN->UP->DOWN->UP->DOWN->UP->

is there a way to kill the double click event?

Cheers?

How To Kill A Double-click Event For A WMP Control
When the user double-clicks on a WMP control then the currently playing video changes to fullscreen mode. This seems to be a default behavior of the windows media control itself which I can not figure out how to turn off. As a result, is there a way to receive the double-click event for the WMP control but not allow the OS to process it ? Basically, in the myWMP1_DoubleClick event, can I somehow not allow the functioning to continue through the OS (ie: kill the event somehow?)

How To Fire A Click Event?
From a combo box how do I make another form appear when a certain item on the list is selected?

Double-click Event Firing Off Click Event Code?
For example:

In a listbox, I have a click event that changes a label's caption from 'Loaded' to 'Clicked' and changes the color from black to red.

I have a double-click event that shows a message box saying "I've been double-clicked."

You can re-set the label by clicking it.

When I click the listbox, the label's caption and color changes. This is what I expected.

When I double-click the listbox, the label's caption and color changes, and the message box is displayed. Why?????

Can't Fire Click Event W/ MouseOver...HELP
Using VB 6.0...

I have a MouseMove & DragOver event on a Label, which basically causes the text to go from "Regular" to "Bold" whenever you MouseOver, then return to "Regular" when the cursor is moved off the Label.

The problem is... I want to fire a Click event when the user Clicks on the Label to open a new form... Basically, I want a Label to act like a web link.

My code:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Private Sub lblHome_MouseMove(Button As Integer, Shift As Integer, X As Single, Y As Single)

lblHome.Font.Bold = True
lblHome.DragIcon = LoadPicture(App.Path & "Hand.ico")
lblHome.Drag vbBeginDrag

End Sub

Private Sub lblHome_DragOver(Source As Control, X As Single, Y As Single, State As Integer)

If State = vbLeave Then
lblHome.Font.Bold = False
lblHome.Drag vbEndDrag
End If

End Sub

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now... where would I insert a Click event: example... frmHome.Show

If I write a separate:
--------------------------
Private Sub lblHome_Click

frmHome.Show

End Sub
--------------------------

The Click event won't fire.

Any advice will be GREATLY appreciated!!!

Why Won't A Button's Click Event Fire In ASP.NET?
Hi, there.

I have a button on an ASP.NET Webpage and have added code to its click event. However, when I run the application and click on the button, the click event code is never run.

I placed a breakpoint on within the the button's click event so that I can tell if that code is run. However, I noticed that when I fire the app up in debug mode, a question mark appears over the breakpoint with the following message:

"The breakpoint will not currently be hit. No symbols have been loaded for this document.".

What does that mean? Why won't the event fire? In my other Webpages, there has never been a problem like this.

How To Make An Event Click Fire Auto?
I want the Event , Active_ Click to fire in a ListBox to show as clicked and highlited. Can this be done so it is automatic?

I have a string going to the Active.ListIndex, but the next Event wants to read the Active.ListBox as having been clicked.

What can I do to have the Active_Click fire?(without the mouse clicking it).

Double Click Event
Hey, Im kinda new to programming,
i currently have a list box populated with values from a database, and then by selecting a particular value from that list and clicking on a command button the system populates several labels with the corresponding values.
I think it would be more user friendly to make it respond to a double click event on the value in the list, rather than a command button click event.
can anyone point me in the right direction on how to do this?

thanks

Listview Double Click Event?

Capture Double Click Event
I need to possibly capture the double click event on a form. Before you roll your eyes read on. I do not want to write out 125 possible click event handlers. So, if i can capture the double click event on each form, determine if the double click was executed on a text box i could open a user control - allow the user to use a larger text box version of the control and enter or read the contents of the box. Right click would work too.

As you may remember i have lots of controls on several forms. to save space i thought about removing all the text boxes designed for notes. several note boxes are located on each form. what would be a good way of hiding the box - opening the box - hiding the box when done? and saving its contents into my file (i can do that but thought i'd throw it in.)

Combo Double Click Event

Datagrid Double-click Event
I have a datagrid with records from Database. When the user double-clicks on a record, the code will open that record. My problem is that if the user double-clciks on the column header, I will get the event and the current selected record will be opened. I don't want this to happen since I use HeadClick to sort the column. If the user clicks on the column header too fast, it will be treated as double-click and opens the current selected record. I want to open the record only when the user clicks on the data rows, not the header. Is there any way to achieve this? Thanks.

Dynamic Control's Event Won't Fire
Hi

I'm adding a CommandButton to my startup form at runtime.

set cmd1 = Form1.Controls.Add("VB.CommandButton", cmdnew)

It is displayed correctly. However, the relating event

Sub cmdnew_Click()
...
End Sub

won't fire. What am I doing wrong? All I could find out is that it's probably related to the control's lifetime. Is there a better way to create controls dynamically?

Thanks for your help.

Fire An Event On An Arrayed Control
Does anyone have some ideas as to how I can fire an event on a dynamically added control in an array? WithEvents can't be put on an array but I need the array to keep track of what the user does when the control is there.

Here are some specifics of what I am doing.

The control is one that I have made with a combo box and some text boxes. (I need to know when the combo box text changes. That is specifically what I am trying to do.)

I have two image boxes, one is a fixed size and the other sizes itself to fit the controls needed.

If the user presses the Add button, another control is added to the embedded image box and the image box resizes itself if needed. Also, if needed, a scroll bar appears to allow the user to scroll through choices.

When a control is added, the parts of the control are resized for the particular screen they are one. So, I have the ability to resize all of the controls on my control. I just need to know when the user changes something in the combo box. Since I add them dynamically, each has a different name to make it unique. Also, since I store them in an array, I can't declare them WithEvents.

Is there another way to do this that will get me what I need? Anyone have any ideas on how to do this?

Thanks!

Command Button Double Click Event?
I cannot for the life of me find out what is the best way to code for a double click event for a command button? Is it by using

1. WM_LBUTTONDBLCLK subclass? If so any examples
2. use a timer function to store a static var and compare on the other click

or what else. I have searched and nothing comes up for just a simple double click.

What I want to do is double click a button, it calls a inputbox for changing variables ect..

Please if anyone has an idea what the best way to do this is please post.

Thanks,

How Do Get Line Response To Double-click Event?
1.I have a database with several different tables name. But each table has 3 same field name ( A, B, and C for example).

When I load the form, I want to load these tables name into a list box. Later, when the users click on the table name listed in the list box, it will load the whole field list A into combo box A, and field list B into combo box B.

So, when I click on the random A data from combo box A and random data B from combo box B, I will get the data in the C field which I will use a text box to display it.

Interrupt Shortcut Double Click Event.
I am tring to create a program for my sister. She want to be able to prevent her kids from running any program she tell mine. She want it to ask for a password before even running the program. And depending on if the user get the password correct or not, determines whether the program is even loaded.

I have tried several different methods of doing this and nothing seems to work. I have tried API calls, like FindWindowEx. I believe the only way to do this is to intecept the double click event for the either the shortcut or application itself but I don't know how to go about this. I have access to both VB 5.0 and 6.0., but I use 5.0 more often.

MSHFlexGrid, Double-click Event && Hourglass Problem
In a VB 6 project I am just about done with, I have a single MSHFlexgrid with some data loaded in it, when the user double-clicks a row, it pops up a second dialog with some more details. That all works fine, but I can't seem to get the cursor to change into an hourglass. I have the usual:

Code:
Screen.MousePointer = vbHourglass

right in the double-click event of the grid (and then the reset to vbDefault at the end of the second dialog's Form Load event), but it never turns to an hourglass.

Has anyone ran into this problem before witht he MSHFlexGrid?

Fire Onclick Event On Asp Page In Webbrowser Control
Hi all:
I am not a hardcore VB programmer so hopefully there are some experts out there who can help.

I have a VB6 form with a webbrowser control on it. When the form opens, the control is loaded with an ASP login web page. The user then logs in to the website and a second page loads. The second page has 3 frames. One of the frames has a disconnect button in it. If the machine is idle for a period of time I want to fire the onClick event of the disconnect button on the web page.

Tracking the idle time is easy enough but is there a way to fire the onclick event of a button in a frame on a web page in a webbrowser control?

Thanks for your help

ListView, Double Click Event,populate Second Form Question.
Hi all:

I do not know how to do this, I have searched PlanetSourceCode.com for possible samples and have viewed over 150 threads on here for ListView and couldn't find anything that I could use.

This is the situation. (screen shots attached too)

I have my MySQL database attributes set as TEXT and it has six columns -- not including the id field which isnt going to be used here. (database.jpg)

When my ListView is populated, it looks like ListViewPopulated.jpg

What I am looking to do is, when you have selected a row from the ListView with the double click event, it takes the values of all three columns and places them into a select statement. With that select statement, it auto populates another form that has input fields and a drop down box. As you can see, the ListView has three of the attributes from the DB, those being of course date (BlogDate), time (BlogTime) and title (BlogTitle). I am looking to place the complete record from the database in the other form (BlogDate, BlogTime, BlogTitle, CurrentMood, BlogEntry) -- excluding Username and id. I do not know how to do this so if you can advise, it would be greatly appreciated. CurrentMood will of course be put into a drop down menu of some kind.

My ListView properties window looks like ListViewPropertiesWindow.jpg

If anyone can advise, it would be greatly appreciated.

Disable Double Click - Single Control Only
Hey Folks,

I have created a few controls that are 'skinnable' so i don't have to look at
regular windows style controls and have used the following code to disable
double clicking so the old mousedown/mouseup/mouseup anomaly doesn't occur
BUT even though I only provide the hwnd of the usercontrol to the function
it disables DblClick for the entire application (well at least my own created controls anyway). So, my question: Is it possible to disable DblClick a different way so as to not affect the rest of the application?

Code:
Private Sub RemoveDblClick(ByVal lhWnd As Long)
Dim lRet As Long

lRet = GetClassLong(lhWnd, GCL_STYLE)
SetClassLong lhWnd, GCL_STYLE, lRet And Not CS_DBLCLKS
End Sub

Double Click In A User Control Runs A Sub - HELP!

Simulate Double Click On Listbox Control
  Hello all,

   Hopefully someone here can help me. I need to simulate a double click on a listbox control or if all else fails, atleast drive a "spacebar" keyboard stroke to the listbox list item that is selected... I've tried this using VK_SPACE but somehow it does not work.

   I'm using this on a third party application and this is why I need to simulate the double click upon the listbox control that the software uses. The software interprets listbox double clicks like that of a command button and triggers an even "deeper" tree of options like that of windows explorer. Hence I need something that can "double click" this listbox for me without having to do it over and over again manually.

  Please help, I'd be very appreciative. Or atleast point me in the correct direction.

Trap "Double Click" Event On Data Grid Cells

Disabling Double-click In Rich Textbox Control
When you double-click on a picture in the rich textbox control, it calls Paint and opens up the picture in edit mode within the rich texbox. I have not tried this with other objects that I've cut-and-pasted to the control, but I would expect that other objects would call the program that they're associated with and open up an instance of that program within the rich textbox. I would like to disable this feature - is there a property or an API call that can do this fairly painlessly, or is it more involved than that?

Image Control Click Event

I don't want to "hard-code" the label since i would have to do this for each labels click event. any suggestions?

Click Event In Control Array
Hey there,

I created an image control array (at design time) and associated a different picture for each one to create a custom toolbox, like this:

image1(0)
image1(1)
image1(2)
.
.
.

Well, when I double-click over any image object to codify the click event, it goes to the code and shows Private Sub Image1_Click(). When I try to run the program, the compiler show the "Procedure declaration does not match description of event or procedure having the same name" error.

I know that it occurs because I have an array but the click event is referring to the images at generic way. What I don't know is how to solve that.

Any clues?

Thanks!
