WM_LBUTTONDBLCLK

The WM_LBUTTONDBLCLK message is posted when the user double-clicks the left mouse button while the cursor is in the client area of a window. If the mouse is not captured, the message is posted to the window beneath the cursor. Otherwise, the message is posted to the window that has captured the mouse.

WM_LBUTTONDBLCLK

fwKeys = wParam; // key flags

xPos = LOWORD(lParam); // horizontal position of cursor

yPos = HIWORD(lParam); // vertical position of cursor

Parameters

fwKeys

Value of wParam. Indicates whether various virtual keys are down. This parameter can be any combination of the following values:

Value
Description
MK_CONTROL
Set if the CTRL key is down.
MK_LBUTTON
Set if the left mouse button is down.
MK_MBUTTON
Set if the middle mouse button is down.
MK_RBUTTON
Set if the right mouse button is down.
MK_SHIFT
Set if the SHIFT key is down.

xPos

Value of the low-order word of lParam. Specifies the x-coordinate of the cursor. The coordinate is relative to the upper-left corner of the client area.

yPos

Value of the high-order word of lParam. Specifies the y-coordinate of the cursor. The coordinate is relative to the upper-left corner of the client area.

Return Values

If an application processes this message, it should return zero.

Remarks

Only windows that have the CS_DBLCLKS style can receive WM_LBUTTONDBLCLK messages, which Windows generates whenever the user presses, releases, and again presses the left mouse button within the system's double-click time limit. Double-clicking the left mouse button actually generates four messages: WM_LBUTTONDOWN, WM_LBUTTONUP, WM_LBUTTONDBLCLK, and WM_LBUTTONUP again.

An application can use the MAKEPOINTS macro to convert the lParam parameter to a POINTS structure.
