Remarks
This event doesn't apply to check boxes, option buttons, or toggle buttons in an option group. It applies only to the option group itself.
This event doesn't apply to a label attached to another control, such as the label for a text box. It applies only to "freestanding" labels. Double-clicking an attached label has the same effect as double-clicking the associated control. The normal events for the control occur, not any events for the attached label.
To run a macro or event procedure when this event occurs, set the OnDblClick property to the name of the macro or to [Event Procedure].
For controls, the result of double-clicking depends on the control. For example, double-clicking a word in a text box selects the entire word. Double-clicking a control containing an OLE object starts the application used to create the object, allowing it to be edited.
If the DblClick event doesn't occur within the double-click time limit of the system, the form, form section, or control recognizes two Click events instead of a single DblClick event. The double-click time limit depends on the setting under Double-Click Speed on the Buttons tab of the Mouse option of Windows Control Panel.
By running a macro or an event procedure when the DblClick event occurs, you can open a window or document when an icon is double-clicked.
Double-clicking a control causes both Click and DblClick events to occur. If the control doesn't already have the focus when you double-click it, the Enter and GotFocus events for the control occur before the Click and DblClick events.
For objects that receive mouse events, the events occur in this order:
MouseDown → MouseUp → Click → DblClick
When you double-click a command button, the following events occur in this order:
MouseDown → MouseUp → Click → DblClick → MouseUp → Click
The second click may have no effect (for example, if the Click macro or event procedure opens a modal dialog box in response to the first Click event). To prevent the second Click macro or event procedure from running, put a CancelEvent action in the DblClick macro or use the Cancel argument in the DblClick event procedure. Note that, generally speaking, double-clicking a command button should be discouraged.
If you double-click any other control besides a command button, the second Click event doesn't occur.
