Double click support coming????

Question

Trying to implement double click within a datagrid.  No can do. There used to be an easy roll-your-own solution when you had access to buttondown/up events, but now those are gone with 2.0.

Is support for dblclick in controls coming in 3.0?   Really bizarre that it wasn't there right from the get go, especially for list-type controls.   Right click popup-context menus would also be a huge help.   (RIAs, right?)

Thank you.

Answer 1

There isn't support for double click in SL 3, but SL 3 gives you the ability to listen to handled events via the AddHandler method.  Using this, you could potentially roll your own solution by listening to all of the MouseLeftButtonDown events

Answer 2

In SL3 I not found the way to do that but you can implement double click by you self like 

1    // In App.cs file
2    public static DateTime LastClick;
3    public static double DoubleClickTime = 350;
4    
5    // put event on click
6    private void dgSaleItem_MouseLeftButtonUp(object sender, MouseButtonEventArgs e)
7    {
8                var ts = DateTime.Now - App.LastClick;
9                if (ts.TotalMilliseconds < App.DoubleClickTime)
10               {
11                   // double click event happen
12               }
13   
14               App.LastClick = DateTime.Now;
15   }

 

I hear that the reason SL3 do not support double click because It want to support MAC

Answer 4

mousebutton events no longer "bubble up" for user controls starting with sl 2.0.

??? Mac's don't support double click?

Answer 5

Won't work.  Button events unavailable for user controls starting w/ 2.0

Answer 6

in silverlight 3, you could use addhandler to handle FrameworkElement.MouseLeftButtonDown event, and implement your custom double click event
