Single click in a double click box

Captivate 3.
I have two click boxes; one set for a single click and the
other for a double click. Both have failure captions. When I single
click in the box set for a double click, nothing happens. It
appears to be ignored. I would like the failure caption for the
double click box to display if the user clicks only once inside the
box. Is this possible?

Hi jimclennon and welcome to our community
I doubt you will be able to accomplish this easily. Failure
captions normally appear when you define a click box area and click
outside the area. As you are clicking
inside a click box area, but only clicking once, Captivate
probably isn't sensing a wrong action is occurring.
This is something you may wish to submit as a feature request
for a future version. To do that,

Why does my event structure run a single click when I double-click?

I would like to treat single-clicks differently than double-clicks but it appears that when I double-click an item on a Front Panel control it runs the single-click event once before running the double-click event. I would like the single-click event not to trigger if the user double-clicks.
I am discarding the "Mouse Down?" filter event then using the "Mouse Up" notify event to try to catch the difference between a single-click and double-click.
Should I be doing something different with the timeout event (right now it does nothing)?
Should I stop displaying the event type?
Should I eliminate the 5 msec Wait in the Producer Loop?
Should I use the "Mouse Down" notify event instead of the "Mouse Up" notify event?

JeffOverton wrote:
If you edit the event cases, is the "Lock front panel until the case for this event completes" box checked?
I think this is a key configuration to understand.
The current configuration means that the 'mouse up' event for the first click is triggered. Then immideatly the front panel is locked. The second click needs to wait until the event has finished. So I think unchecking that box might improve the code.
Yes you should remove the 5 ms. wait, it has little purpose. It might even cause this: Click 1(& lock), wait 5 ms, event 1 (&unlock), click2 (no double click anymore).

How to detect only single click and not double-click mouse events in Swing?

Hi,
In my application, I want to implement a functionality only for single click. But problem is on double click, first i can see a single click and then double click.
i.e e.getCount() return 1 and then 2 for double click. I want to avoid this situation.
Shouldn't it be just one event with a clickCount of 2? or any alternative solution?
Please let me know how can i stop this.
Thanks in advance..
Cheers

Maybe something like the below example:

import java.awt.event.ActionListener;
import java.awt.event.MouseAdapter;

import javax.swing.JFrame;

              if (clickCount == 1) {
               System.out
                    .println("Executing action on click count 1 only");
          timer.setRepeats(false);
         @Override
         public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent event) {
          clickCount = event.getClickCount();

Selecting a page with a single-click instead of double-click

Is there anyway to make InDesign CS5.5 move my file to the page I have selected in the pages panel without having to double-click the page in the pages panel?
I keep forgetting that the page selected in the panel may or may not be the page I'm currently editing & this is very frustrating.

Page that you're currently on is highlighted in reverse (black background white text)
If you're select a page in the pages panel it highlights blue to indicate it's selected. This allows you to move the page if you need to, or select over dozen other options for that page, numbering, sections, override, move, duplicate, apply master page to, delete, rotate view, colour label, page transiitions, hide master items and spread flattening!
You double click a page to move to that page. If it was only a single click then it would be quite frustrating to be hopping all over the document when all you want to do is renumber/resection/dupe or over a dozen different options mentioned above.
CTRL/CMD J will bring up the Go To Page dialog box.
Navigate with the page numbers as peter suggested.
There's a reason it works like that - because it works best.

Single Click Acts Like Double Click

A coworkers is having problems with his mouse (so I thought I'd post the problem, see if anyone knows what might be happening). He'll single click with his mouse, but sometimes (not always), it will act as though he's double clicked. Anyone have any suggestions as to what the problem might be?

He's got a dual 1.2 (I think) GHz G4 tower. He's using some third party mouse (with two buttons and a scroll wheel). He's running Panther (he might upgrade to Tiger today).
He (Brian, I'm gonna stop sayin' "he") ...Brian, switched with a "normal" Apple mouse for a few minutes and said it wasn't happening. But he can't get used to the big single click (which I prefer myself). Well, looks like we've found the culprit. I'll suggest changing USB ports, see if that does anything different.

Single-click registers as double-click, trackpad AND mouse

I did a search here and elsewhere on this and it seems to be a fairly common issue among G4 PowerBook users. These are the threads I found here on the subject just doing a quick search...

I have the same problem and it's really starting to annoy me since I started using this computer more frequently recently. I've owned it since new. It has done this off and on since I bought it. I only used it for travel so I just put up with it but now I'm using it for all E-mail to free up my primary desktop for other needs and this is starting to drive me crazy. The machine originally had Panther on it and when I migrated to Tiger I thought that might fix it. No such luck.
The problem is that quite often when I single-click on something, whether in the Finder or an Application, it registers as a double-click. It doesn't matter if I use the trackpad or a mouse, same problem.
I've tried different "Keyboard and Mouse" settings in System Prefs and nothing makes any difference. I've tried the PMU reset too. No change. I've tried it with the mouse disconnected and I've tried it with two different mice. No improvement. I've even tried it with green eggs and ham but the problem persists!
I've never had this issue with ANY other Mac I currently own (3 others) or have owned in the past (many since 1985). My only speculation is that MAYBE the humidity/static in my environment has something to do with it. I've never noticed an exact correlation but it SEEMS that perhaps I may be having this problem more often when the climate is dry. Possible?
Has anyone found a definitive cause/solution for this issue? Thanks!
Mike

Glad that worked for you Sup3rL4m3r but I suspect we have different issues. I have no problems with anything except single-clicks and click-drags registering as double clicks with either the trackpad or mouse. I have no issues with my "wallpaper" or with erratic cursor issues, or with anything else. When I upgraded to Tiger as indicated in the original post, I did an archive and install but it did nothing to mitigate the problem.
This seems to possibly be a somewhat common problem based on previous posts I've read on it but I suspect that the lack of any solutions suggests it is a design flaw of some sort that has no solution. Perhaps it is not prolific enough to get any attention. Darned shame since this machine has otherwise been flawless. Kind of like buying a new car that has a hesitation on acceleration that you can't get rid of. Most annoying.

Single Click registers as Double Click

Hi guys, my current issue is a bit hard to explain but here goes:...
In CS 5.5 I now have an issue where a single mouse click is often registered as a double-click. This means if, for example, if I single-click on a clip that is placed on the timeline to select it and want to drag or trim, Premiere registers it as a double click and opens up the clip in a Source Monitor. This gets old really fast. There are a lot of other instances where Premiere does this and I need it to stop.
I'm suspecting a possible issue with the graphic card (GTX580), however it worked flawlessly, no mods or driver changes have been done.
I played around with the Windows mouse settings hoping it would fix it, but to no avail. I tried different mice, from a cabled cheap Dell mouse to a wireless Microsoft mouse. No changes. Restarts or creating new Projects didn't help. No new peripherals have been added, and no upgrades or registry changes have been made.
Any ideas?
Thank you

Don't get me wrong. Your system looks WIcked.... however is the set up for Premiere overly complex? First, I'm not a system integrator, I'm just a simple caveman really. But I can compare my two systems from work, which are.

Distinguishing b/t two single mouse-click and mouse-double-click

Hi,
I am curious to find out how Forms will distinguish between two single when-mouse-click events and a single when-mouse-doubleclick event. Is it simply a timing issue or is there more involved i.e. the 'co-ordinates' of the mouse. Thanks in advance for any opinions given,
regards,
Kevin.

The difference is same as the difference of Apple and Orange.
Its depends on O/S and event management within OS kernel.
You can change the timing in Control panel of mouse double click.

Disabling normal JButton click behaviour for double click

This seems quite a poser.
Basically I have a test JButton for testing double click speed. This is in a dialog with the JButton and a JSlider.
I have some code which detects the double click, I add this as using 'addMouseListener()', but I need to disable the normal single click action of the JButton to replace it by the double click code calling 'doClick()'.
How do I disable the normal single click functionality ?
I have looked through the SDK source but cannot fathom the normal behaviour of the event mechanism.
Many thanks in advance.
Aaron

Here's an entire program. When I run it, it only catches doubleclicksimport javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
public class Test {
public static void main(String[] args) {
    TestFrame testFrame = new TestFrame("Test");
    testFrame.pack();
    testFrame.setSize(200,200);
    testFrame.show();
class TestFrame extends JFrame {
public TestFrame(String Title) {
    super(Title);
    JPanel myContent = (JPanel)getContentPane();
    JButton myButton = new JButton("Hello");
    myContent.add(myButton);
    myButton.addMouseListener(new MouseAdapter() {
      public void mouseReleased(MouseEvent me) {
     if (me.getClickCount()==2) System.out.println("DoubleClick!!");
protected void processWindowEvent(WindowEvent e) {
    super.processWindowEvent(e);
    if (e.getID() == WindowEvent.WINDOW_CLOSING) { System.exit(0); }

One click it a double click

When I click my mouse it mostly double clicks. I has the same problem on my logitec and my apple magic mouse so it must be the software.

This is what it is set too.

I have to "single-click" twice (not double click) to open an item in the Dock.

Can someone confirm if this is Expected Behavior?? (OS = Mavericks)
If you have Assigned an application in your Dock to a Desktop & Display in the application's Dock >> Options (ex: Assigned To: Desktop on Display 2):
Click once on the application icon in the Dock, the application's Menu will populate on the top of your screen, but not the application itself (yet), click the application icon a second time, the application will now show too.
Docked Applications that do not have an Assigned To: Desktop & Display in the Dock options, you only need to single click.
FYI:
For odd Dock behaviors otherwise try this:
You may have a corrupted Dock preferences file.
Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy paste the following:
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.dock.plist (plist = preference list file)
Click Go then move the com.apple.dock.plist file to the Trash, or move it to your Desktop.
Restart your Mac and see if the behavior is resolved. You will have re-configure your Dock settings.

From where are you launching Mail? The only place, unless I've missed or forgotten something, you can launch an application with a single click is from the Dock. Is this what you're doing, or are you attempting to launch Mail from the Applications folder?

Double click and single click Event

Hi
I want to add a Single Clcik event and Double click event both on the same movie clip in as3 , its working but call both the event same time so how to fix it , please help us if u have any solution ..(

did you double click enable your object AND add a doubleclick listener? if so, what's the problem?

Double Click / Single click problem

Recently i have been noticing when i single click, using either my magic mouse or trackpad i end up getting a double click, even when my double click is set to as slow as possible.
Is there anything that can be done to stop this, as this makes many of the menu's in photoshop un usable as well as the dashboard calculator :'(

My Mother-In-Laws computer (iMac 2GHz- Snow Leopard with current updates) is acting this way also. In her case, she had a Logictec wireless mouse hooked up with the receiver in the keyboard. She has noticed the single click as a double click in Mail and another program (can't remember the other). Suggested that she go back to the original apple mouse and see if it still acted the same way. I'm on the computer now and have been able to recreate the problem with the Apple mouse. Her mouse click setting was all the way to "low". Moved the setting to the middle and didn't see much of a difference. Maybe slightly more instances of double-clicks.
I have two other macs(my Mac Pro and another iMac) I use on a regular basis and have not seen this problem. But they are also behind on Snow Leopard OS updates. I'm guessing this is an internal problem Apple will have to fix.

How to differentiate between Single click and double click event in List

I am facing a problem while using list in awt.
I want to execute some code on single click and other on double click but when double click event occurs it also executes the single click code.
because i have added both actionlistener and itemlistener on the list.
How to sort out this problem.
please help me out.
Thanks buddies.

When double clicked on item, it also fires single click

Hi,
I want to seperate a single click and a double click. I try doing this by using:
if (e.getClickCount() == 1)
fireSingleClick();
else if (e.getClickCount() >= 2)
fireDoubleClick();
But when I doublic click, it also fires the singleclick. Does anyone know how to prevent this?
thanks,
Hugo

Using the suggestions found on this page I came up with something that I think is a little easier to implement. First of all a few observations:
1) From my testing on Windows 98 it appears that the click count is incremented as long as the click is within about 500 milliseconds. To be consistent I set this as the default value for my class (not the 300 that appears to be used in most threads)
2) A double click will be processed immediately. On the other hand, a single click has to wait 500 milliseconds before being processed, just to make sure another click isn't received (which would make it a double click). Just seems a bit strange that a double clicks executes faster than a single click.
Here's the code:
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import javax.swing.event.*;
public class ClickListener extends MouseAdapter implements ActionListener
    MouseEvent lastEvent;
    Timer timer;
    long time;
    public ClickListener()
        this(500);
        time = System.currentTimeMillis();
    public ClickListener(int delay)
        timer = new Timer( delay, this);
    public void mouseClicked (MouseEvent e)
        if (e.getClickCount() > 2) return;
        lastEvent = e;
        if (timer.isRunning())
            timer.stop();
            doubleClick( lastEvent );
        else
            timer.restart();
    public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
        timer.stop();
        singleClick( lastEvent );
    public void singleClick(MouseEvent e) {}
    public void doubleClick(MouseEvent e) {}
    public static void main(String[] args)
        JFrame frame = new JFrame( "Double Click Test" );
        frame.setDefaultCloseOperation( JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE );
        frame.addMouseListener( new ClickListener()
            public void singleClick(MouseEvent e)
                System.out.println("single");
            public void doubleClick(MouseEvent e)
                System.out.println("double");
        frame.setSize(200, 200);
        frame.setVisible(true);
}
