Name: doubleClickInterval

Type: property

Syntax: set the doubleClickInterval to <timeInterval> 

Summary: Specifies how long the delay can be between two clicks for them to be considered a <double-click|double click>.

Introduced: 1.0

OS: mac,windows,linux,ios,android

Platforms: desktop,server,web,mobile

Example:
set the doubleClickInterval to 100 -- 1/10 second

Example:
set the doubleClickInterval to 250 -- 1/4 second

Value: The <doubleClickInterval> is an <integer> between zero and 65535. The value of the <doubleClickInterval> is expressed in <milliseconds>.

Description:
Use the <doubleClickInterval> <property> to fine-tune <double-click|double-clicking>.

Increase the <doubleClickInterval> to make the mouse less sensitive to slow <double-click|double clicks>; decrease it to make it less likely that two separate clicks will be mistaken for a <double-click|double click>.

If more time than the <doubleClickInterval> elapses between the first and second click, no <mouseDoubleDown> or <mouseDoubleUp> <message> is sent to the clicked <object>.

On Mac OS systems, the <doubleClickInterval> is set to the current setting (in the Mouse control panel) when LiveCode starts up. Normally, you should not change the <doubleClickInterval> setting, since doing so may discombobulate the user.

On Windows systems, the <doubleClickInterval> <property> is <read-only> and cannot be set.
