Topic: DblClick on Commandbar

I am trying to mimic the format painter in MS Word. If the user clicks the format painter button once, they can paste the format to a selection and they are done. If they DblClick the button, the button will stay down until they uncheck the button. My problem is the command bar control does not have a DblClick event. I am at my wits end in trying to come up with a solution. Can anybody suggest a solution or a work around? Thank you.

Sincerely,

John Coffey

You can use ControlRButtonUp event

that work as Execute event.

Gibra, thank you for the suggestion. I will consider that if I do not find a more traditional solution.

After I posted the question, it occurred to me that I should have suggested a couple of hacks I was kicking around in hope that someone else had succeeded in implementing them. For example,

Anybody implemented a DblClick via markup on the commandbars? Markup is permitted on the status bars and the tabs, but I am not sure if it is available on the commandbars themselves.

Anybody implemented a DblClick via the ExecuteOnPressInterval property? I am sure I could fake a double click if I manipulate this property wisely.

If anybody could help me squeeze a DblClick event out of the commandbars I would be very appreciative. Otherwise, I will have to deviate from the accepted norms (Microsoft Word) of doing things and prospective customers never like that. Cry

Thank you!

Sincerely,

John Coffey Smile

Haven't tested it too thoroughly, but this seems to work:


Option Explicit

Private Declare Function GetDoubleClickTime Lib "user32.dll" () As Long
Private Declare Function GetTickCount Lib "kernel32.dll" () As Long

Private mo_FormatBrush As CommandBarControl

Private m_LockFormatBrush As Boolean

Private Sub CommandBars1_Execute(ByVal Control As XtremeCommandBars.ICommandBarControl)
   Dim l_Tick As Long
   
   Select Case Control.Id
   Case 100
      Me.Cls
   
      On Error Resume Next
      l_Tick = Control.Parameter
      On Error GoTo 0
      
      If GetTickCount - l_Tick <= GetDoubleClickTime Then
         Control.Checked = True
         m_LockFormatBrush = True
      Else
         m_LockFormatBrush = False
         Control.Checked = Not Control.Checked
      End If
      
      
      Control.Parameter = GetTickCount
   End Select
End Sub

Private Sub ApplyFormatBrushIfActive()
   Me.Cls
   
   If mo_FormatBrush.Checked Then
      ' Do your formatting here
      Me.Print
      Me.Print
      Me.Print
      Me.Print "Apply format " & IIf(m_LockFormatBrush, " and deactivate format brush.", " and uncheck format brush")
   End If
   
   If Not m_LockFormatBrush Then
      ' FormatBrush hasn't been double-clicked, so reset
      mo_FormatBrush.Checked = False
   End If
End Sub

Private Sub Form_Click()
   ApplyFormatBrushIfActive
End Sub

Private Sub Form_Load()
   With Me.CommandBars1.AddMenuBar("Test").Controls
      Set mo_FormatBrush = .Add(xtpControlButton, 100, "Format")
   End With
End Sub

JPBro, you nailed it. :-) The extra effort for retrieving the user's double-click interval as opposed to assuming it is 500 ms is worthy of extra kudos. This was the most logical solution. I will put my code here for anyone who cares to use this functionality. Excuse the formatting as it got out of hand.

Cheers,

John

'Do work here. This may be time consuming in some cases, so I placed the GetTickCount at the very end to give people plenty of time for their second click.

We don't want the second click to fire it as well, therefore we test the m_blnMultiFormatPaint variable.
