Time entry field mouseDoubleDown

Post by hamlynart » Sun Apr 13, 2008 7:28 pm

Hi Folks,

I'm trying to make some foolproof time entry fields. I've noticed that the Mac OS has a very clever system which selects both hour or minute characters simultaneously and skips the colon. I'd like to do this. I've tried mouseDoubleDown but according to the documentation:

"If an unlocked field is clicked with mouse button 1 or 2, no mouseDoubleDown message is sent."

Any ideas or solutions would be greatly appreciated.

I suggest using the selectionchanged message for this.
