Double clicks

[maxs]

In livecode docs, it says that MouseDoubleUP works with IOS. For me it works only on Mac.

The docs also say:
If a tool other than the Browse tool is being used, no mouseDoubleUp message is sent. If an unlocked field is clicked with mouse button 1 or 2, no mouseDoubleUp message is sent.

Is there a way to do a double tap on IOS?

I don't believe there is.

But you could measure the milliseconds between taps and if it is less than a threshold you set....

Hi Max,
I used mousedoubledown that sometimes works better than mousedoubledown.
A time counter between mousedown-mouseup is an other way.

Aha!

Trust to Klaus, He's always right. Fortunately I've found my bed and I can now confirm that
mousedoubleUp sometimes works better than mousedoubleUp.

Here is a "timer way" exemple

Code: Select all

local sStartTime
on mousedown
   put the milliseconds into sStartTime
end mousedown

on mouseUp
   if the milliseconds > (sStartTime + 3000) then
      beep --or what you want1
   else
      -- what you want2
   end if
end mouseUp

Best regards
