how to detect mouse clicks into an editable field?

[rozek]

Hello!

Please excuse this silly question: how do I detect double clicks into an editable(!) text field? The "MouseDoubleUp/Down" messages are only sent to locked (i.e. non-editable) fields.

But how do I detect them on editable fields? (I have to modify the standard selection behaviour of fields in case of double clicks)

Thanks in advance for any hint!

Hi Rozek,

The selectionChanged message is always sent to an editable field when the user clicks in it, even if the selection isn't changed.

Personally, I would consider this a bug, but in your case it might be a feature.

Best,

Mark

Hello Mark,

thanks for your response - I already feared that I would have to detect MouseClicks myself...

I wrote some code which is able to detect single mouse clicks within a field's text (but not outside it, e.g. beyond a given text line) and double clicks on blanks (but not - yet - printable text, where Revolution itself reacts on the double click)

Then I filed a bug report (#6905)

Now I am curious about the response from the staff at Revolution
