mouseup/mouseDoubleU

[Peter Haworth]

Interesting.  The problem I have is that the mouseDoubleup never triggers even if I'm within the doubleclick... parameters.  And even if it did, it doesn't really help because I still have to write some code in the mouseUp handler to make sure the user didn't double click so the mouseDoubleup message is kind of pointless since I've already dealt with it in mouseUp.

It's just an anomaly I guess but sure would be nice if the dictionary said something somewhere about this issue.

I have to admit I'm a bit puzzled by the references to double clicks not being part of HIG.  I'm sitting here looking at the finder window on my Mac and if I want to open a file or run an application, I have to double click on it.  I'm sure there are other examples.
