expression A variable that represents an Application object.
Parameters
| Name | Required/Optional | Data type | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sel | Required | Selection | The selection below the mouse pointer when the double-click occurs. |
| Cancel | Required | Boolean | False when the event occurs. If the event procedure sets this argument to True, the default double-click action isn't performed when the procedure is finished. |
Remarks

| View | Item |

The default double-click action occurs after this event unless the Cancel argument is set to True.
Example
In slide sorter view, the default double-click event for any slide is to change to slide view. In this example, if the active presentation is displayed in slide sorter view, the default action is preempted by the WindowBeforeDoubleClick event. The event procedure changes the view to normal view and then cancels the change to slide view by setting the Cancel argument to True.
Private Sub App_WindowBeforeDoubleClick (ByVal Sel As Selection, Cancel As Boolean)
With Application.ActiveWindow
If .ViewType = ppViewSlideSorter Then
.ViewType = ppViewNormal
Cancel = True
