why does the event structure respond to double Click ?

[Dr._Imad]

If one clicks on a greyed-out item, the event structure does detect the double click ? is this normal ?
see attached vi (LV 7.1.1)

Hi,

This was actually a minor bug in LabVIEW 7.1 and the behavior has been changed for the next release of LabVIEW already. The double-click is now handled both when it is simply handled as a Property Node as well as when it's handled in an Event Structure.

Good catch! Thanks.

Hi,

The event is called when the control is dubble clicked, it doesn't concern items. In the dubble click event, use the "dubble click" property. It will be -1 if a disabled item was dubble clicked. Or use the row from the event to check if it is disabled.

Regards,

Wiebe.

There are many ways of handling things, sure.
But the basic idea of a greyed out item is, it should not be selected or accessed. Some may argue against this, but it all depends.

Well put all!

I can hear someone asking already;

"My customer wants to display a warning message if someone double-clicks on a grey-out elements..."

Which way do we go....
