Doubleclick on DesktopX Desktop

Thursday, May 31, 2007 by cwfrizzell | Discussion: Customization Software

I use a program that runs in the background, but can be called by doubleclicking anywhere on the desktop.  How can I use the doubleclick on dektop functionality with a DX desktop?

i don't believe DX will detect a double click on the windows desktop so you could make a picture object and make it the size of the effective screen height and width. and give that a double click method. i don't believe there is a double click method so you would have to create your own, this shouldn't be a hard task but if you run into trouble PM me and i will help you out.

yea, you'd have to create an object that covers the desktop on the lowest z-order. however, it'd render the icons unclickable...

And doubleclick functions you have to do your self. I should have a little snippet somewhere that get's the double click delay and deviation radius from the windows system somewhere. The double click action could vary from system to system so you really want to get the info from the registry instead of hardcoding it.
