Double click for JList items selection

I would like to select JList items only by double clicking on them. I can write a mouse listener for detecting double clicks by my own (and handle it afterwards), by please tell me how to turn the default behavior off (selecting items by clicking one time).
Thanks in advance

I would like to select JList items only by double clicking on them. Well the standard is to select or highlight on a mouseClick or by using the arrow keys on the keyboard.
Then once you have a selected item you can perform and Action on the item by double clicking or by using the enter key. Remember you should always be able to use either the keyboard or the mouse to perform any given function.
This posting shows my solution for the above scenario:

    Did you reinstall CS3 after CC?
    For that matter, doing an in-place upgrade on the OS is always a gamble with Adobe programs. Reinstalling all the versions you need, in order, would probably solve your problem.
    And you shouldn't need to save as IDML after opening the .inx in CC.

  • Double clicking a list item

    Hi,
    I'm just trying to perform an action by double-clicking a list item, but doesn't seem to work. code:
    WHEN-MOUSE-DOUBLE-CLICK trigger on List item (TList).
    DECLARE
    v_verwalten VARCHAR2(40);
    BEGIN
    v_verwalten := :CONTROL.LIST;
    IF v_verwalten = 'Codes verwalten'
    THEN NEW_FORM('COD_VER');
    END IF;
    END;

    Hi all,
    When the list item type is tlist, the trigger 'WHEN-LIST-ACTIVATED' will fire for "mouse double click" and "key enter".
    Try with placing the code in 'WHEN-LIST-ACTIVATED' trigger.
    Cheers,

    I have Thunderbird 24.5.0. When I double click the desktop item to open it up, it opens immediately, but when I'm in the main page with all the folders on the left & the corresponding email details on the right of that same page, it seems to have problems. Before, when I would highlight a certain box / folder (whether it would b “inbox”, “sent” folder, “trash” folder, or whatever, it takes a good 5 min (minimum) to open that certain folder so I can see the emails of that folder.
    Can u help me determine what is causing this? Just 3 days ago, it was fine.
    Thank you

  • When i double click on and item in the firefox downloads window the item dosn't open, left clicking on the item still dose not give me the choice to "open". how to fix this problem thanks

    When i double click on an item in the firefox dowloads window the item dos'nt open.Left clicking on the item dose not give me the choice to "open" the item.
    the downloaded item is a pdf file of 59 kb, and was downloaded using adobe acrobat version 5

    I have sort of the exact same problem. Extremely far away from user friendly
    I have an second issue as well: When I hook off all-day it comes up with an 8 hour event!
    And then if I put in a late start hour it pushes end time to next day due to the 8 hour event suggestion.
    All in all this gives a lot of changes just to enter an event.
    Command N
    I learnt from your input to use this fuction. At least that comes up with a one hour event as default.

  • Blocks in standalone applications which can be double clicked for changing parameters

    Can we have blocks in standalone applications which can be double clicked for changing parameters.
    something like an options/configure button which opens another window and helps us to change tha parameters  of that particular
    block.

    Well, you will need to program your application that way. Maybe I am not understanding this correctly but what parameters do you want to change in your standalone application?

  • JList item selection

    I am using a JList, and I would like to select certain items in the list. Right now I am doing it by passing the constructor an array of int indecies that correspond to the items I want selected.
    What I would really like to do, is have one item selected in red and the others selected the way they are. Or the other way around. I just want different color selections. I'm pretty sure I can not do this, but I just wanted to see if you guys (and gals) had any ideas.
    The other idea I had was to use a JPanel, and then use drawString to list the items, then capture the mouse click, find what item was selected, and then paint that rectangle the color I want.

    Hi
    You need to write a custom ListCellRenderer and set that for the list using: list.setCellRenderer(someCellRenderer); Once you have done that, populate the list with items (i.e. instances of a class which you created) that define whether the list item being drawn should be drawn using a red foreground. The renderer will need to check and see if the list item boolean value for painting in red is true, and if so set the foreground to red, otherwise use the default foreground color.
    Sorry if this sounds cryptic but I can't devote any more time to helping you out. Best of luck.
    cheers,

  • Iphoto wont play movie files and wont double click for zoom or edit

    Hi i bought my first ever macbook a week ago,love everything on it,iphoto worked well but today i wanted to show someone a movie file on my camea which i have in my iphoto libray clicked on it and it usually opens,today nothing!!! this file has opened loads before because its a holiday movie, loads of people have seen it but now nothing.
    Also my double click to zoom or edit preference seems to do nothing whichever box you check in preffence nothing happens.
    Being new to mac i hope i can find some answers!!
    Chris

    Chris:
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. First Control+click on the movie's thumbnail and select Show File from the contextual menu. When you get to the original movie file double click on it to see if you can open it in Quicktime. If not then it's more a QT issue. If it opens OK in QT go to the next procedure.
    Delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder and try again. If iPhoto is still misbehaving log into another account and try the same operations in iPhoto there. If still not working you may have to reinstall iPhoto from the disk it came one. To do so you'll have to delete the current application and all files with "iPhoto" in the file name that reside in the HD/Library/Receipts folder. After you get iPhoto reinstalled run the latest update for it, 7.1.3 if needed.
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.≤br>
    Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

  • How to get index of the item from table when user double click on an item

    Can anyone tell me how to get the corresponding index of a table in which
    elements are listed as array of strings? I am looking for the index of the
    item being double-clicked on?
    Thank you in advance
    Cheers,
    NQ.

    Hi NQ,
    Although the question is not thouroughly clear, I can give a few suggestions. You can use the property node for table to refer to any particular row or column of the table. The correpsonding elements in the property node will be "SelStart", "SelSize" etc. Just as a side thought, the index of a table starts with (0,0).
    I am attaching a test file. Please see if it helps you in figuring out what exactly you want. This example VI is just to help you try different options under property node (if you havent already tried)to get what you want.

  • Single (instead of Double) click for af:table editingMode="clickToEdit"

    Hi all,
    My af:table has editingMode="clickToEdit".
    A row becomes editable by double clicking on it - this is a default.
    How can I overide this editable behaviour with ONLY SINGLE click instead of Double?
    Thanks.

    Ok, I can overirde the selection listener,
    but inside that method I do not want to: setEditingMode("editAll");
    I still want the table to have editingMode="clickToEdit".
    But I want with only one click (instead of double) the row to be editable.
    So one row editable at the time.
    But only one click to show input fields.
    The tabel does not have a property (number of clicks to make the row editable) that I can control.
    In RichTable class it sais:
    In "clickToEdit" mode a single row editable at a time. A row becomes editable by double clicking on it.
    Can I overide this with: one click on the row???
    And for sure I do not want to PPR the table since default double click on the table do not refresh the whole table.
    Thanks.

  • Problem w/"combo boxes" cause the user to double click for the dropdown menu, but not for everyone.

    I have created a form with Adobe Acrobad Pro 9.
    There are a few "drop-down" boxes for people to choose options from.  I created them with the "Combo box" option.  They work perfectly fine on my laptop (Lenovo T500 windows 7, with all updates up to date.)  I sent the file to another exact same computer and that's when the problem came up.  When you click on the drop-down, the list will quickly appear and then disappear.  Then if you click it again it will stay open so you can choose your option.  However this only happens on "some" computers but not everyone's.  I emailed the exact same form out to other people in my office and they do not have any problems with the form.  There is no need to double click the drop down, it will just open up properly for them.
    Has anyone come across this? And if so, is there maybe a setting on these specific laptops that is preventing the "combo box" to not work properly?  I need to use this specific laptop as a "Kiosk" like a "check out" station for users to fill out the form to check out equipment.  I will be running in Reader so people can not make changes to the form.  (both the Acrobat Pro 9 version and the (most up to date) Reader version of the PDF form does the same "double-click" problem)  I need a date drop down and an equipment type drop down.
    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated !
    Thanks !

    I've got this kind of problem with a form of mine (designed with LCD) :
    - combo boxes with font-color changing event handlers on :enter
    - on Acrobat 9 Pro : no problem
    - on Reader 8.3 :
          - first click seems to execute the event handler but stops the combo's opening
          - second click does open the combo
    Do you have event handlers on combo:enter ?
    Could the difference between comps where it works and comps where it doesn't be Acrobat's version ?
