Application.WindowBeforeDoubleClick event (PowerPoint)

Syntax

expression. WindowBeforeDoubleClick( _Sel_, _Cancel_ )

expression A variable that represents an Application object.

Parameters

Name	Required/Optional	Data type	Description
Sel	Required	Selection	The selection below the mouse pointer when the double-click occurs.
Cancel	Required	Boolean	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.

Remarks

For information about using events with the Application object, see How to: Use Events with the Application Object.

View	Item
Normal or slide view	Shape
Slide sorter view	Slide
Notes page view	Slide image

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

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
