Resolved Stop/reset mouse event after a certain click count

Hello. I'm wanting to perform an action after a double click. That works fine, but if you double click rapidly it continues along the first mouse event and the click count continues counting up beyond two. Is there any way to reset the click count or change the event double click time?

Edit: Forgot to mention I'm registering a MouseDownEvent callback.

 

I don't think you can reset the click count. I'm not sure if you can change the double-click time; I believe it uses the OS settings, but I'm not sure.

Maybe you could partially solve this with code. Here's a function that will return a periodical clickCount (so 3 is 1, 4 is 2, and so on):

Code (CSharp):

1.  
2.         int GetPeriodicalClickCount(int clickCount, int maxCount = 2)
3.         {
4.             // For the next operation to work, the count needs to start at zero.
5.             int zeroBasedCount = clickCount - 1;
6.             // The modulo operator %, returns the reminder of dividing the left number by the right number.
7.             // For example, 0/2 reminder's is 0, 1/2 is 1, 2/2 is 0, 3/2 is 1, and so on.
8.             int periodicalZeroBasedCount = (zeroBasedCount % maxCount);
9.  
10.             // Finally, we add one to transform the 0s and 1s to 1s and 2s.
11.             return periodicalZeroBasedCount + 1;
12.         }
13.  
14.         // You can use it like this:
15.         void OnMouseDown(MouseDownEvent e)
16.         {
17.             int doubleClickCount = GetPeriodicalClickCount(e.clickCount);
18.             // Pass another number as a second parameter if you care about triple-click counts, for example:
19.             int tripleClickCount = GetPeriodicalClickCount(e.clickCount, 3);
20.         }
21.  

 

Forgot about this post, thank you Oscar for the advice.

I ended up solving my problem by trading this out

if (event.clickCount == 2)

for

if (event.clickCount % 2 == 0)
