WindowBeforeDoubleClick Event

Occurs when the editing area of a document window is double-clicked, before the default double-click action.

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

Sel   The current selection.

Cancel   False when the event occurs. If the event procedure sets this argument to True, the default double-click action does not occur when the procedure is finished.

Example

This example prompts the user for a yes or no response before executing the default double-click action. This code must be placed in a class module, and an instance of the class must be correctly initialized in order to see this example work; see Using Events with the Application Object for directions on how to accomplish this.
