  Hi,
  
  Is there an event that is exposed that can be used to capture the user double-clicking on the StartButtonImage on the RibbonBar?
  
  I would like for my application to close when the image is double-clicked.
  
  Thanks,
  
  neil

  Hi Neil Welligan,
  
  Thank you for writing.
  
  Indeed, you can close the form upon a double click event on the start button. You have to access the ActionButtonElement and then subscribe to its double click event:
  
  

  ActionButtonElement startButton = radRibbonBar1.RibbonBarElement.Children[2].Children[1].Children[1] as ActionButtonElement;

  startButton.DoubleClick += new EventHandler(startButton_DoubleClick);

  
  In the event handler the Close() method of the form should be invoked:
  
  

  private void startButton_DoubleClick(object sender, EventArgs e)

  {

  this.Close();

  }

  
  If you need additional assistance, do not hesitate to contact us.
  
  All the best,

  Thanks for your reply.
  
  Ideally I would appreciate the StartButton to be accessible as a property on the RibbonBar, but your solution works as requested.
  
  Thank you for your time.

  Hi Daniel,
  
  Please consider using the following code snippet in Q1 2009:
  

  public Form1()

  {

  InitializeComponent();

  this.radRibbonBar1.RibbonBarElement.ApplicationButtonElement.ActionButton.DoubleClick += new EventHandler(ActionButton_DoubleClick);

  }

  void ActionButton_DoubleClick(object sender, EventArgs e)

  {

  MessageBox.Show("I was double-clicked");

  }

  
  If you have additional questions, feel free to contact me.

  Hello Olivier Galloy,
  
  Due to numerous clients' requests we changed the click behavior of our RadControls/RadElements and now they behave just like the standard Microsoft controls - when you click twice on a button you get two Click events fired instead of one Click and one DoubleClick.
  
  However, you can easily get a DoubleClick behavior. Just measure the time span between the clicks and if it is smaller than the system DoubleClickTime, execute your custom action:
  

  public Form1()

  {

      InitializeComponent();

    

      this.radRibbonBar1.RibbonBarElement.ApplicationButtonElement.ActionButton.Click += new EventHandler(ActionButton_Click);

  }

    

  DateTime startClick = DateTime.MinValue;

    

  void ActionButton_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)

  {

      DateTime currentTime = DateTime.Now;

      TimeSpan span = currentTime - startClick;

      if (span.TotalMilliseconds < SystemInformation.DoubleClickTime)

      {

          this.Close();

      }

      startClick = currentTime;

  }

  
  If you have additional questions, feel free to contact me.
