NAME

Tk::DoubleClick - Correctly handle single-click vs double-click events,

VERSION

Version 0.04

SYNOPSIS


            

              
              
use Tk::Doubleclick;
bind_clicks(
    $widget,
    [ \&single_callback, @args ],    # Single callback with args
    \&double_callback,               # Double callback without args
    -delay  => 500,
    -button => 'right',
);

DESCRIPTION

Tk::DoubleClick module correctly handle single-click vs double-click events, calling only the appropriate callback for the given event.

This module always exports bind_clicks().

FUNCTIONS

bind_clicks()

Required parameters:

$widget

Widget to bind to mousebuttons. Typically a Tk::Button object, but could actually be almost any widget.

[ \&single_click_callback, @single_click_args ],

The callback subroutine to invoke when the event is a single-click, along with the arguments to pass. When no arguments are passed, the brackets can be omitted.

[ \&double_click_callback, @double_click_args ],

The callback subroutine to invoke when the event is a double-click, along with the arguments to pass. When no arguments are passed, the brackets can be omitted.

Options:

-delay

Maximum delay time detween clicks in milliseconds. Default is 300. If the second click of a two proximate mouse clicks occurs within the given delay time, the event is considered a double-click. If not, the two clicks are considered two separate (albeit nearly simultaneous) single-clicks.

-button

Mouse button to bind. Options are 1, 2, 3, or the corresponding synonyms 'left', 'middle', or 'right'. The default is 1 ('left').
