WM_RBUTTONDBLCLK message

Posted when the user double-clicks the right mouse button while the cursor is in the client area of a window. If the mouse is not captured, the message is posted to the window beneath the cursor. Otherwise, the message is posted to the window that has captured the mouse.

A window receives this message through its WindowProc function.

#define WM_RBUTTONDBLCLK                0x0206

Parameters

wParam

Indicates whether various virtual keys are down. This parameter can be one or more of the following values.

Value	Meaning
MK_CONTROL 0x0008	The CTRL key is down.
MK_LBUTTON 0x0001	The left mouse button is down.
MK_MBUTTON 0x0010	The middle mouse button is down.
MK_RBUTTON 0x0002	The right mouse button is down.
MK_SHIFT 0x0004	The SHIFT key is down.
MK_XBUTTON1 0x0020	The first X button is down.
MK_XBUTTON2 0x0040	The second X button is down.

lParam

The low-order word specifies the x-coordinate of the cursor. The coordinate is relative to the upper-left corner of the client area.

The high-order word specifies the y-coordinate of the cursor. The coordinate is relative to the upper-left corner of the client area.

Return value

If an application processes this message, it should return zero.

Remarks

Only windows that have the CS_DBLCLKS style can receive WM_RBUTTONDBLCLK messages, which the system generates whenever the user presses, releases, and again presses the right mouse button within the system's double-click time limit. Double-clicking the right mouse button actually generates four messages: WM_RBUTTONDOWN, WM_RBUTTONUP, WM_RBUTTONDBLCLK, and WM_RBUTTONUP again.

Use the following code to obtain the horizontal and vertical position:

xPos = GET_X_LPARAM(lParam); 
yPos = GET_Y_LPARAM(lParam); 

As noted above, the x-coordinate is in the low-order short of the return value; the y-coordinate is in the high-order short (both represent signed values because they can take negative values on systems with multiple monitors). If the return value is assigned to a variable, you can use the MAKEPOINTS macro to obtain a POINTS structure from the return value. You can also use the GET_X_LPARAM or GET_Y_LPARAM macro to extract the x- or y-coordinate.
