SetDoubleClickTime

The SetDoubleClickTime function sets the double-click time for the mouse. A double-click is a series of two clicks of a mouse button, the second occurring within a specified time after the first. The double-click time is the maximum number of milliseconds that may occur between the first and second clicks of a double-click.

BOOL SetDoubleClickTime(
  UINT uInterval   // double-click interval
);
 

Parameters

Specifies the number of milliseconds that may occur between the first and second clicks of a double-click. If this parameter is set to zero, the system uses the default double-click time of 500 milliseconds.

Return Values

If the function succeeds, the return value is nonzero.

If the function fails, the return value is zero. To get extended error information, call GetLastError.

Remarks

The SetDoubleClickTime function alters the double-click time for all windows in the system.
