INFO: Custom Controls Must Use CS_DBLCLKS with Dialog Editor (71223)

This article was previously published under Q71223 SUMMARY
For a custom control to function properly with the Dialog Editor, the
custom control window class must include the CS_DBLCLKS style.
If the custom control does not have the CS_DBLCLKS style, double-
clicking the control in the Dialog Editor does not cause the custom
control function to display its style dialog box. However, the
control's style dialog box is still accessible from the Styles command
on the Edit menu.
MORE INFORMATION
The Dialog Editor subclasses each control it creates and processes
WM_LBUTTONDBLCLK messages. In response to this message, the custom
control is asked to display its style dialog box.
If the custom control window class does not have the CS_DBLCLKS style,
Windows does not send any WM_LBUTTONDBLCLK messages to the control. As
a result, the Dialog Editor does not call the style dialog box
function for the custom control and no dialog box appears.
NOTE: This article does not apply to the resource editor included with the
Visual C++ development environment.
