Hi all,

How do you determine what the speed setting is for a mouse click?

I am using WM_LBUTTONDOWN and WM_LBUTTONUP and I would like to know If the WM_LBUTTONUP message constitues a click.

Thanks for your time and consideration,

Darrel

Hi Darrel.

I did something with the mouse for my first time a few days ago i'm new so if i'm wrong sorry.

Quote
The GetDoubleClickTime function retrieves the current double-click time for the mouse. A double-click is a series of two clicks of the mouse button, the second occurring within a specified time after the first. The double-click time is the maximum number of milliseconds that may occur between the first and second click of a double-click.

Syntax

UINT GetDoubleClickTime(VOID);

Return Value

The return value specifies the current double-click time, in milliseconds.

I got this from www. msdn.com

So maybe something like this.

Code Select




invoke SendMessage,hWnd,GetDoubleClickTime,0,0

I'm sure the value gets returned in eax.

I hope this is ok.

Hi gavin,

Thanks for the reply. This answers my question. Never noticed this function in the API reference before, but it is there.

The correct implementation of the function is:

Code Select

invoke GetDoubleClickTime

And yes eax contains the result.

Thanks again for your help gavin,

Darrel

Darrel,
Also, remember, if you don't like the value that is returned you can always use the SetDoubleClickTime function. It sets the double-click time for the mouse.
