WindowBeforeDoubleClick Event

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

Private Subobject**_WindowBeforeDoubleClick(ByValSelAs Selection**, CancelAs Boolean)

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.

CancelFalse 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.
