Single Click in OS X: is that possible?

Hello,
Is it possible to switch from double click to single click in OS X? I don't find anywhere in system preferences giving me this option!
Thanks, Ramin

Hi Robert,
Yes, there are various ways through menus and keyboard shortcuts to launch a program or open an item without double clicking on it, but that wasn't the OP's question. They want to be able to do that by clicking on the item once without doing anything else.
The Finder in OS X will let you do the same thing OS 9 did. Highlight the item by clicking on it once and then press Command+O. Same as OS 9. If it's an app, it'll launch. If it's a file of some sort, it will launch the associated app and then open in that app. You can also add anything to the Dock in OS X. Once there, it's a one click launch.
A double-click, however, should never be required.
It needs to be a requirement. How else would the system know whether you were clicking, say on a Photoshop document, once just to highlight it or to open it? If everything required only once click, you would constantly be opening files or launching applications you didn't intend to. There has to be a say to separate the meaning of your actions without always having to resort to a second action after first clicking on an item in order to do something with it.

How to Open new screen for single click on ALV icon.

Hi All,
Can any body help me regarding the below ALV requirement.
I need to create a executable program ZPROGRAM with a table having field to store long text.The ALV report should display records according to the selection screen parameters with a icon in each record when clicked should open a new screen with present data in the field and must be able to save the entered long text.
Can any body give me the idea after displaying the simple ALV in the output,
How to open new screen(not the Pop-ups) after single click on the icon,
in that I should be able to modify & save the long text in my ZTABLE and
able to retrieve the same text for single clicked icon record.
which function modules/Classes/Methods can we use for this requirement.
And how retrieve the same text for this record.
Thanks in advance.

How to make the DefaultMutableTreeNode response to the single click?

I use the DefaultMutableTreeNode and JTree to construct a Tree but it seems that DefaultMutableTreeNode only response to double click.That means if I double click on the node of the tree if that node has children they will be displayed.but now I want DefaultMutableTreeNode response to single click,how can I do that?

Hi, perhaps I could take a stab at this. I implemented such functionality by simply adding a mouse listener to my tree, and implementing the method 'public void mouseReleased(...)'. You could use the MouseEvent object to get the x,y coordinates of the click (simple so far)and then use:
int selrow=tree.getRowForLocation(me.getX(),me.getY()); //where me is MouseEvent object and tree is the JTree.
selrow>=1 if you have clicked any of the nodes after the root. this could then be used to check and perform the actions/code block you need when user clicks on a node.
Hope this helps....it worked for me to show a popup menu as well as to highlight the selections...by using
tree.setSelectionRow(selrow);
Cheers

How to separate double click action and single click action

in my mouse action listerner for JTable.
i do two actions, when user doule click column header, sort the column,
when single clicked, select all cells in this column.
but when user double clicked, the action attached with single click also triggered.(column sorted but also selected)
how to separate them.

Ok, so despite my earlier suggestion being basically the only solution offered anyway on the web it appears that Lokust is correct and that the single click operation would be performed as well as the double click one. to get round this u have to implement a Timer, i'm not going to post my whole code here because most of it is irrelevent, just add this code in the correct places and it should work fine. apologies to all format junkies for not using code tags!
import java.util.Timer;
import java.util.TimeTask;
public class WhateverClassName implements MouseListener {
private Timer t;
private boolean doubleclick;
myTable.addMouseListener(this);
public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent e) {
     t = new Timer();
     if (e.getClickCount() == 2){
          doubleclick = true;
     else if(e.getClickCount()==1){
          t.schedule(new MyTimerTask(),500);
/*You need all these methods as well */
/* (non-Javadoc)
* @see java.awt.event.MouseListener#mouseEntered(java.awt.event.MouseEvent)
public void mouseEntered(MouseEvent arg0) {
/* (non-Javadoc)
* @see java.awt.event.MouseListener#mouseExited(java.awt.event.MouseEvent)
public void mouseExited(MouseEvent arg0) {
/* (non-Javadoc)
* @see java.awt.event.MouseListener#mousePressed(java.awt.event.MouseEvent)
public void mousePressed(MouseEvent arg0) {
/* (non-Javadoc)
* @see java.awt.event.MouseListener#mouseReleased(java.awt.event.MouseEvent)
public void mouseReleased(MouseEvent arg0) {
class MyTimerTask extends TimerTask{
/* (non-Javadoc)
* @see java.util.TimerTask#run()
     public void run() {
          if(doubleclick){
               System.out.print("double click");
          else{
               System.out.println("single click");
          t.cancel();
This assumes that for it to be considered a double click user has to click twice within .5 seconds.
Let me know if that works or not, sorry its a bit messy!

There was away (before Mavericks) I could single click on an email and it would highlite but not open. I could either delete or second click and the email would then open. Can anyone tell me how to configure the prevue pane to that end with Mavericks?

There was a way (before Mavericks) I could single click on an email in the "prevue pane" and it would highlite but not open. I could then either delete it or click again and it would open. With Mavericks that doesn't seem to be available making it impossible to delete an email in the prevue pane before I open it. Its frustrating to have to go through all the monkey motions when I know I want to delete it from the get-go. Does anyone know who to configure for that operation? I'm using an iMac.

Wow, have you ever seen 1 Billion in hard cash? If not, I assure you it exists as well.
Try not to pick apart what others write because you "have not seen it."
I run TWO programs for protection of my MAC now and have been for sometime b/c developers of them become complacid thinking MAC is impermeable.
My MAC locked me out of it and two externals and when I finally did get back into them Norton Anti-Virus found a "worm." When I asked the program to find the origin, it was traced back to an email, as you said, that I opened unintentionally. I still have two external HDs for backup and a cloud backup now.
When ClamX ran after Norton was finished, ClamX found what it called as "spyware," and it's origin was in my email also. I tried to delete the emails after the programs (both) identified the infected files, however once deleted and the computer is restarted, they were still there because I ran the scans again.
Now since we are no longer talking about how to turn on and off the view pane in apple mail; riddle me this, why can't the developers of these antivirus and antispyware/malware programs get together and develop ONE PRODUCT that catches 90-95% of the viruses/worms/spyware/malware ect that get onto MAC's? Is it because they are too busy thinking they don't exist?
I still run both programs and feel protected between the two. If Norton said it was a "worm" then I believe it was a worm and if ClamX called it "spyware" then I believe it is spyware.
I had to wipe my MAC and do a fresh install to get it working again, then I had to open one of those externals (which was very, very difficult) multiple times until finally it displayed the message "you can view, but not change the data." I exported as much as I could to my cloud and I had to format both of those too.
I still run both programs as I feel protected between the two. If Norton tells me it is a "worm" then I believe it is a "worm;" if ClamX tells me it is "spyware" then I believe it is "spyware." If it happens again, which my hope is that it won't, I will be more than happy to send the infected files to you!!
Try not to "forum rage." Support forums to post experiences and find answers, not nit-pick or claim not existance b/c you have not experienced it for yourself.

Is that possible to set up a multiple y-axis and single x-axis in one waveformchart (in LabVIEW 8.0)?

Hello!
Is that possible to set up a multiple y-axis and single x-axis in one waveform chart using LabVIEW 8.0?
Because I need to display several channels in the same chart, if one channel has a very big data range and the others not, the channels with smaller data range will not be displayed very clear.
Thanks!

Is it possible to trigger download of more than one file in a single click.

Hi
Is there a way to initiate download of multiple files by a single click on Button ? I have a download button in my page which on clicking initiates download of a single file. I have a usecacse, where i need trigger downnload of 2/3 files with the same single click. Is it possible ?
Thanks in advance.

On solution would be to zip the multiple files into one and send this to the client.
An other possible way (never tested this) is to use the click on the button to send the files in a sequence. You send the first file, then queue a click onto a hidden button to send the next and repeat this until all files are send. I'm not sure how the client reacts, e.g. if the second file is send while the first file still needs to be accepted on the client or if the user first has to accept the file, download it and then get the next dialog.
For a sample of how to queue a click onto a hidden button you can check http://tompeez.wordpress.com/2011/07/14/validate-data-before-export-via-afexportcollectionactionlistener-or-affiledownloadactionlistener/

Use of Single Click in RRI/WAD

I want to use a single click to link two queries in the WAD.
I have created the Jump targets etc. and the context menu works fine (with Goto). I believe it is possible to have the link via a single click (Left mouse button) and have investigated the use of the Table Interface without success.
Is there any other way to achieve this, failing that I wonder if anyone can give me a more detailed explanation of the Table Interface.
Thanking you all in anticipation.

Gareth,
what you want to do will be a combination of Table INterface , Java and command URLs..
A command URL goes like this
<DNS>/sap-language=en&cmd1=ldoc&template=<your template ID>&cmd2=filter&iobjnm_1=<characteristics for jump>&iobjnm_1_value=<valyue fr the same>
Here you go to the table interface and go to the method CHaracteristic_cell
and modify the same.. have a link attached to the calue bu using the href command ad the c_cell_td_extend parameter
Now ave the cell point to a javascript function like cell_jump(char)
inside the cell_jump function create a javascript routine to create the jump url and redirect to the new URL and your ump is done. There is no need to have any RSBBS assignment for the same .. or customize the context menu to move the jump to the top of the context menu and be done with that.
hope it helps..

Single click in file open dialogs in KDE4.1

Hi,
In my KDE 4.1, there's something that doesn't seem right:
If in system settings, mouse&keyboard, I set the option "Double-click to open files and folders", then it doesn't actually listen to that setting.
In a file open dialog, it opens a file already with a single click. This makes it very hard to select multiple files in the dialog (e.g. when opening files with kate), because if you press CTRL and click on the file, instead of just making a selection of it, it opens that 1 file and closes the file open dialog.
Is this really the intention? How can I select multiple files that are not all below each other?
Is it the intention that it doesn't listen to the double click setting? And is it the intention that the behaviour is inconsistent with any other desktop environment? I mean, they didn't just change something universally accepted, right?

I mean if I just use the below script, it works.
getURL("javascript:loadintoIframe('myframe',
'v_vista_b5.html')");
but if I want to control 2 iframes in one clicking, it
doesn't work(it basically load only the second statment, and skips
the first). I'd like to know is it possible to combine below 2
javascript into one?
getURL("javascript:loadintoIframe('myframe',
'v_vista_b5.html')");
getURL("javascript:loadintoIframe('topframe',
'top_v_vista_b5.html')");
thanks again.

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,

Uncontrollable mouse button events (single clicks are doubled?)

Hello, folks--
I am having a mouse problem that is driving me up the wall. The mouse in question is an optical IM/PS2 mouse--it is a cheap no-name product, but has worked fine for 2 or 3 years. The trouble started maybe six weeks ago when I did a full upgrade. The most important change that I know of in that upgrade was the introduction of HAL, so I strongly suspect that the cause of the problem is related to my HAL configuration, or perhaps a conflict between that and my X config. But anyway, the symptoms I've been seeing include (but are not limited to):
* Firefox: a single click selects an entire paragraph
* Thunderbird: a single click in the message list opens the message in a new window
* Xfwm: a single click on the "windowshade" button collapses the window, then expands it again
(or vice versa, depending on the initial state)
* Xfwm: when dragging a window quickly, the mouse "loses its grip"--i.e. the window stops moving even
though I am still moving the mouse
None of these things happens every time, but they all happen often. The problems seem most severe in Firefox, but given that similar things happen elsewhere, I would imagine that's due to Firefox's complex event handling exposing a pervasive problem, rather than any kind of application-specific issue.
With the possible exception of the window-dragging issue, all the above symptoms are consistent with a problem I have seen reported elsewhere, that single clicks are being read as double clicks. However, the only clearly applicable solution I've seen for that issue is to remove all mouse configuration from Xorg.conf, leaving it up to HAL. I tried that and it didn't seem to change anything. However, at the same time I purged the mouse from Xorg.conf, I created an FDI file for the mouse in /etc/hal/fdi/policy. I wonder now if that was necessary--there was no FDI for the mouse before, but perhaps there doesn't really need to be one if you aren't applying any special settings? Dunno, I don't understand much about HAL yet.
I have tried a couple of other things: first, I set the double click speed to the minimum using the Xfce Mouse Settings applet (BTW, I suppose this applet is a front-end to some shell command or config file, but what?). That seems to help, but only a little. Second, if I use the mouse in an unnaturally precise manner (e.g., when single-clicking, I click as quickly as possible and lift my finger all the way off the button), the problems mostly, but not entirely, disappear.
Any suggestions?

Did you try another mouse by chance?
Well, no, and I suppose to be thorough I should try that. But I am quite sure that the problem appeared suddenly, and exactly at the time of the upgrade I mentioned.
Well, it could be that your fdi modification tries to catch the mouse events twice in a row. Perhaps you should post the file.
Besides: There is are no mouse specific fdi settings in my system. I currently have no idea where the mouse behaviour was defined besides my still old xorg.conf. (I did only activate Option "AutoAddDevices".)

JComboBox in JTable to activate when double-click instead of single-click

I like to know if it is possible to change the default behaviour of JComboBox within the JTable,
such that instead of single click on the JTable cell for the combo box's popup to appear, I double click on it instead.
If it is possible please give some advice.
Thanks.

I couldn't get to settings because I couldn't scroll and don't know where that is located. I just saw a similar question from someone else. Three clicks on home button worked to turn off voiceover !! Phew!

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.
