    <p>I've got a listbox in my WPF app, and when the user double-clicks on an item, I change the contents of the list (something like directory navigation). In some cases, it makes sense to double-click, and then immediately double-click again, because you know what's going to appear in that same spot. You would expect that you could do that by just clicking four times in rapid succession (which ought to mean "two double-clicks").</p> <p><em>But that doesn't work.</em> If you click rapid-fire enough, it's not until the fifth or sixth click before WPF will send another double-click event!</p> <p>It looks like WPF has built-in support for triple-clicks, and sometimes even more, if you click fast enough. I ran a quick example to confirm this:</p> <pre><code>&lt;ListBox PreviewMouseLeftButtonDown="ListBox_PreviewMouseLeftButtonDown"/&gt; private void ListBox_PreviewMouseLeftButtonDown(object sender, MouseButtonEventArgs e) { Trace.WriteLine("ClickCount = " + e.ClickCount); } </code></pre> <p>When I ran it, and clicked rapid-fire, I got output like this:</p> <pre><code>ClickCount = 1 ClickCount = 2 ClickCount = 3 ClickCount = 1 ClickCount = 2 ClickCount = 3 ClickCount = 4 ClickCount = 1 ClickCount = 2 ClickCount = 3 </code></pre> <p>Sometimes it counted up to 3 and then reset; sometimes it counted up to 4 before it reset. I couldn't get it to go up to 5.</p> <p>But then I went into Control Panel > Mouse, and changed my double-click speed to the slowest possible setting. Then I was reliably able to get it to count up to 10 before it reset, and up to 11 or 12 if I was really booking it. So apparently it's all about how fast you can click before your system-configured "double-click" interval. If you click more times before that interval has elapsed, you get a "triple-click" or a "quadruple-click" or more.</p> <p>But I don't <em>want</em> triple-clicks or quadruple-clicks -- especially not if they're impossible to get with certain double-click configurations. I want every other click to be a double-click event (as long as they're in rapid succession, the mouse hasn't moved more than the threshold amount, etc.)</p> <p>Is there any way I can get WPF to give me normal double-click events (an event for every other click) when I'm clicking rapid-fire?</p>

    1. COSince you managed to count clicks, why not just do whatever you need to do whenever `ClickCount % 2 == 0`?

    2. CO@madd0, take another look at the output I posted. ClickCount doesn't keep incrementing. Given the sample output above, you would be responding to the 2nd, 5th, 7th, and 10th clicks. Occasionally it'll get the desired behavior, but only by accident.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
