no listbox event on double click

[xDan]

well, something like that anyway.

If I do a double click, and do the first click on one list box item, and the *second* click of that double click lands on a different list box item, then no EGET_LISTBOX_CHANGED event is generated (but visually, the selection changes, so an event should be generated).

This is with 1.6. but I did not see any fix in the changelog for 1.6.1.

To test you can handle the event in the user interface example

Code: Select all

			case gui::EGET_LISTBOX_CHANGED:
				printf("%i listbox\n",rand());
				break;

then create some items in the list box by creating new windows. then double click around to test. If you do two clicks slowly it works as it should, this is peculiar to a fast double click.

Thanks. I knew something was still strange because I also have to check for EGET_LISTBOX_SELECTED_AGAIN additionally to EGET_LISTBOX_CHANGED in a listbox because it didn't work otherwise, but had not figured out yet when it happens :-)
I'll put it on my todo, but would be nice if you could also add a bugtracker entry for that.

Ok. Thanks for the tip!

OK, I figured out what's currently happening. EGET_LISTBOX_SELECTED_AGAIN is only send when the item is clicked within 500ms or by "enter" or "space". Otherwise you get EGET_LISTBOX_CHANGED. It look like it was written that way for the file-open dialog where this behavior is/was needed.

Certainly it should be corrected, but I don't find time currently to rewrite the file-open dialog, so instead I just documented the real behavior for now. Better solution will have to wait until 1.7.1 or 1.8.
