WindowBeforeDoubleClick Event

Occurs when you double-click the items in the views listed in the following table.

The default double-click action occurs after this event unless the Cancel argument is set to True.

Private Sub application_WindowBeforeDoubleClick(ByVal Sel As Selection, ByVal Cancel As Boolean)

application     An object of type Application declared with events in a class module. For information about using events with the Application object, see Using Events with the Application Object.

Sel     The selection below the mouse pointer when the double-click occurs.

Cancel     False when the event occurs. If the event procedure sets this argument to True, the default double-click action isn't performed when the procedure is finished.

Example

In slide sorter view, the default double-click event for any slide is to change to slide view. In this example, if the active presentation is displayed in slide sorter view, the default action is preempted by the WindowBeforeDoubleClick event. The event procedure changes the view to normal view and then cancels the change to slide view by setting the Cancel argument to True.

Private Sub App_WindowBeforeDoubleClick _         (ByVal Sel As Selection, ByVal Cancel As Boolean)
    With Application.ActiveWindow
        If .ViewType = ppViewSlideSorter Then
           .ViewType = ppViewNormal
            Cancel = True
        End If
    End With
End Sub
