Visual Basic .NET definition

Declare Function SetDoubleClickTime Lib "user32" (ByVal wCount As Integer) As Integer

C# definition

[DllImport("user32")] public static extern int SetDoubleClickTime(int wCount)

Description

Platforms: Win 32s, Win 95/98, Win NT SetDoubleClickTime sets the maximum amount of time allowed between successive mouse clicks for Windows to determine it as a double click. This function alters how Windows interprets a double click, so of course all applications as well as Windows itself will be affected. Be careful using this function, since the user usually sets the double click speed via Windows's Control Panel, so he/she may not expect a change in the double click speed. The function returns 1 if successful, or 0 if an error occured.

Parameters

wCount The maximum amount of time, in milliseconds, to allow between successive clicks for Windows to interpret it as a double click. A value of 0 restores Windows's default double click speed of 500 milliseconds.

Further Information:

For further information on Windows API functions such as these, and how to use these API's in your C# and VB.NET applications, please refer to the book 'Network programming in .NET' (Buy at Amazon UK) (Buy at Amazon US)

Visual Basic 6 example source code
' Set the maximum double click speed to 1 second. Dim retval As Long ' return value retval = SetDoubleClickTime(1000) ' set the double click speed to 1 second Debug.Print "The double click speed is now 1 second (1000 milliseconds)."
