Can anyone name an instance of an application where clicking an entity (say image) does one thing, but if you double-click it it does something different?
The only example I’ve been able to find is in double-clicking a track in iTunes but then that selects it (single click function) and then plays it (double-click function) which implies (logically) that double click is the superset (containing single-click).
Basically, I am being asked to implement (in WPF) an image single-click doing one thing and an image double-click doing another thing and I’m not sure if this is even conceptually correct.
If someone has an example of anyone sensibly doing this that would be appreciated?
From a Windows messaging perspective, a double-click always generates a single click message first; Windows can’t predict ahead of time that another click will come in time to turn it into a double-click. I can’t imagine that WPF is going to hide this physical fact from you.
