Okay, this is bugging me! How do you detect a double click? Don''t know why this would matter but: Using Microsoft C++ Using Direct Input 8 (NO! I do NOT want to use buffered data!) ----------------------------- Vash the Stampede "Love & Peace!"

Everytime you get a click, store the time (and perhaps the location) and compare it to the time/pos of the previous click. If the difference is below a threshold (100ms? +/-3pixels?) it''s a double click.

Hmmm... Simple, yet effective. I like it! (Actually, I''m surprised I didn''t think of that before. ^_^)

I should mention for anyone else that happens to read this that you probably wouldn''t want to register a single click till after the threshold has been passed. Otherwise you would get some screwy results.

Thanks again!

There is one more issue that you should take in considiration:
If you want to take one action if you click and another if you double click. The reason that there is trouble is that you can''t take the click action right away since it might be the first click of a double click action. The solution is annoying but effective.
When you get the Click event, you start a timer with a GetDoubleClickTime() span.
If you get the timer event before a double click event, then take the click event.
If you get the double click event kill the timer and do the double click event.
One draw back that this have is a small delay after doing the click, until the action is taken. usually (unless the user set the DoubleClickTimer to a long delay) the user will not fill the delay.
