PRB: DblClick Event Fires After Keystroke Followed by Space

ID: Q166941

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Visual FoxPro for Windows, versions 3.0, 3.0b, 5.0, 5.0a, 6.0

SYMPTOMS

In Visual FoxPro 3.0x, 5.0x, and 6.0, the DBLCLICK event of a LISTBOX triggers after any keystroke followed by space. This can cause a problem when performing an incremental search on a search string that has spaces in between.

STATUS

This behavior is by design.

MORE INFORMATION

The DBLCLICK event should only trigger if a double mouse click is performed.

Steps to Reproduce Behavior

Create a new form.

Add a list box to the form. Set the RowSourceType property to 1 (Values), and RowSource to "AB, A B".

Put the following code in the list box DBLCLICK event:
```
      WAIT WINDOW "DblClick" 
```

Save and run the form.

Try to find line "A B" using incremental search, for example, type A, then <Space>. The Wait window appears at the upper-right corner.

NOTE: Even if you do not have code for DBLCLICK event, there is no way to search for strings with spaces inside.
