Disable OnLButtonUp when onLButtonDoubleClick

[c.plassais]

Hi,

In class Tool, Is it possible to disable the method OnLButtonUp or OnLButtonDown when you call the method onLButtonDoubleClick

Thank you in advance for your answers

I do not think so. You can use a timer to defer execution for a fraction of a second, and then a DoubleClick can cancel the timer.

Will only work on SU8 or later as the timer in previous versions was bugged, rounding everything down - the minimum you could defer would be a second in them versions.

What is order of UI::Tool class callbacks called by Sketchup, when a user double clicks the Left Mouse Button, including onKeyDown() and onKeyUP() ?

[Jim]

Seems LButtonDown and LButtonUp always and only occur once each, followed by onLButtonDoubleClick if there was an one.

Here's the double-click output from the script below:

` onLButtonDown
onLButtonUp
onLButtonDoubleClick

---

-------------------------`

class TestTool
    def onKeyUp key, repeat, flags, view
        puts ;onKeyUp
        add_newline(Time.now)
    end
    def onKeyDown key, repeat, flags, view
        puts ;onKeyDown
        add_newline(Time.now)
    end
    def onLButtonDoubleClick flags, x, y, view
        puts ;onLButtonDoubleClick
        add_newline(Time.now)
    end
    def onLButtonDown flags, x, y, view
        puts ;onLButtonDown
        add_newline(Time.now)
    end
    def onLButtonUp flags, x, y, view
        puts ;onLButtonUp
        add_newline(Time.now)
    end
    def add_newline(t)
        UI.start_timer(1) { puts "-" * 25 }
    end
end

Sketchup.active_model.select_tool TestTool.new

Dan is to prohibit the use of onKeyDown ()and onkeyup ()when a user double clicks the Left Mouse Button.

As Jim says, the solution is perhaps to calculate the delay between two onKeyUp (), if the delay is small consider that a double click to invoke a method equivalent onLButtonDoubleClick. if not call the method onKeyUp () and / or onKeyDown ()

Thanks Jim

What do you think about this

class TestTool
    def onLButtonDown flags, x, y, view
        puts "-" *25
        puts ;onLButtonDown
        @id = UI.start_timer(1,false){call_method(flags ="single", x, y, view)}  
    end
    def onLButtonUp flags, x, y, view
        puts ;onLButtonUp
    end

    def onLButtonDoubleClick flags, x, y, view
        UI.stop_timer @id
        puts ;onLButtonDoubleClick
       call_method(flags ="double", x, y, view)
    end     
    def call_method(flags, x, y, view)
        if flags == "single"
            UI.stop_timer @id            
            puts "Call method for onLButtonDown"
            puts "Call method for onLButtonUp"
        else
            puts "Call method for onLButtonDoubleClick"
        end
        puts "-" *25
    end
end

Sketchup.active_model.select_tool TestTool.new

should be able to reduce the UI.start_timerto less than 1 second....

It works, you can use onLButtonDoubleClick without calling onLButtonDown & onLButtonUp
The delay time is 0.2 it works well for me but it is possible that changes depending on the computer

For SU8

class TestTool

    def onLButtonDown(flags, x, y, view)
        puts "-" *25
        puts ;onLButtonDown
        @ip = UI.start_timer(0.2,false){call_method(flags, x, y, view)}   
    end
    def onLButtonUp(flags, x, y, view)
        puts ;onLButtonUp
    end

    def onLButtonDoubleClick(flags, x, y, view)
        UI.stop_timer @ip
        puts ;onLButtonDoubleClick
        puts "Call method for onLButtonDoubleClick"
        puts "-" *25

    end     
    def call_method(flags, x, y, view)
            puts "Call method for onLButtonDown"
            puts "Call method for onLButtonUp"
        puts "-" *25
    end
end

Sketchup.active_model.select_tool TestTool.new

For SU6 & SU7

class TestTool
    def onLButtonDown(flags, x, y, view)
        puts ;onLButtonDown 							# for test      
        call_method(flags, x, y, view)
    end
    def onLButtonUp flags, x, y, view
        puts ;onLButtonUp							# for test
    end
    def onLButtonDoubleClick(flags, x, y, view)
        UI.stop_timer @id
        puts ;onLButtonDoubleClick						# for test
        puts "Call method onLButtonDoubleClick"					# for test
        puts "-" * 25 								# for test       
    end     
    def call_method(flags, x, y, view)
            start_time = Time.now
            elapsed_time = 0
          	loop do
                   elapsed_time = Time.now - start_time                         # for test
                   puts elapsed_time     
                  	if elapsed_time >= 0.20   				###### delay time ######
                                @id = UI.start_timer(0,false){
        			puts "Call similar method for onLButtonDown"
                    		puts "Call similar method for onLButtonUp"
                    		puts "-" * 25					# for test
                    		}                  
                    	break
                  	end
          	end    
    end
end

Under Windows this can be configured by the user. Registry setting. Expect one can set it under OSX - but I have no idea where you'd get the setting.

In the script, it's just the time allowed to detect the double click
