This article was previously published under Q146021

SYMPTOMS

When you double-click a check box, its value changes once. For example, if a check box is unchecked, double-clicking it marks it as checked. A double- click does not behave differently from a click. It was expected that double- clicking a check box would change the value twice, resulting in no change at all.

CAUSE

When you double-click the check box, the Click event is triggered after the first click. This is what changes the value of the check box. The DblClick is then triggered. Visual FoxPro does not modify the value of a check box when the DblClick event is triggered.

WORKAROUND

To change the value of a check box with a double-click, you can insert either of the following commands in the DblClick event handler:

   KEYBOARD " "

-or-

   MOUSE CLICK

This will force the value to change when the DblClick event is activated.

STATUS

This behavior is by design.
