  • Article
Word Developer Reference

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

Syntax

expression.Private Sub object_WindowBeforeDoubleClick(ByVal Sel As Selection, Cancel As Boolean)

expression   A variable that represents an Application object that has been declared with events in a class module. For more information about using events with the Application object, see Using Events with the Application Object.

Parameters

Name Required/Optional Data Type Description
Sel Required Selection The current selection.
Cancel Required Boolean False 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 to see this example work; see Using Events with the Application Object for directions on how to accomplish this.
