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').

    my $lb4 = $f1->Label(-textvar => \$ndouble,       @args);
    $lb1->pack($lb2, $lb3, $lb4, @pack);
    # Create button for each color, and bind single/double clicks to it
    foreach my $a_color (@$a_colors) {
        my $fr = $mw->Frame->pack(-expand => 1, -fill => 'both');
        foreach my $bg (@$a_color) {
            my $b = $fr->Button(-bg => $bg, -text => $bg, @args);
            $b->pack(@pack);
            bind_clicks($b, [\&single, $lb2, $bg], [\&double, $lb4, $bg]);
        }
    }
    # Make 'Escape' quit the program
    $mw->bind("<Escape>" => sub { exit });
    MainLoop;
    # Callbacks
    sub single {
        my ($lbl, $color) = @_;
        $lbl->configure(-bg => $color);
        ++$nsingle;
    }
    sub double {
        my ($lbl, $color) = @_;
