Where is the Double-click Event in Adobe LiveCycle Designer

[Sean_AIF]

Hi Experts:

I was trying to put code into a Double Click event in Adobe LiveCycle Designer, but couldn't find the Event. There is a "Click" event, but that won't do.

Am I missing something here?

Thanks,

Jen

Designer forms do not have a Double click event. You only have Click event.

But that seems very limited. Is there a workaround or a custom solution?

I do see a reason a double click is useful.

You have fields and buttons in Designer, the same things you have onto a website and in other programs.

And for those you also don't need a double click.

What's limiting about single vs. double clicking? Just curious...

I imagine you could come up with some sort of custom solution involving a counter and timeouts or something like that, but not sure.

The desire is to have a text field (cell in a table) double clicked and a popup box to come up so text can be entered and stored with the cell. But not always.

If we are limited to a single click, how do we get into a cell, but not want the popup box?

You can use a script in the click:event of the field to identify if the shift key is pressed down, when clicking into the field.

if (xfa.event.shift == true)

     {

     script to execute if shift is pressed

     }

Hi Jen,

I was surprised the double click was missing but I use the following code in the click event, just replace the "[my double click code ]" and "[ my single click code ]" with your single and double click code.  This code delays the single click event for 400ms to see if a second click is coming, you might want to play around with the 400ms as you have to balance the responsiveness of a single click with the double click.

if (new Date() - this.date < 400)

{

    app.clearTimeOut(this.timeout);

    this.date = undefined;

    [my double click code ]

}

else

{

    if (xfa.event.fullText !== "singleClick")

    {

        this.timeout = app.setTimeOut("xfa.event.fullText='singleClick';xfa.resolveNode('"+this.somExpression+"').execEvent('click');",500);

    }

    else

    {

        [ my single click code ];

    }

}

this.date = new Date();

You are crafty! That worked for me exactly.

Thank you very much,
