How to correctly catch a double click event on an item

[Franco]

Good morning.
I'm studying your demos for RadCarousel, in particular the "First Look" one, and I want to intercept the double click event on an item. I don't know how to do it, as the item hasn't the double click event wired to it. How can I solve this problem?

Thank you

Hello Franco,

Thank you for writing.

Please have a look at the radCarousel1_ItemDataBound() method. This is where the visual items are created. You should subscribe to the carouselItem's events, but since the animation starts on the first click, the double click event is never fired. Therefore, I suggest using the MouseDown event and check the number of clicks. Here is a sample code:

private void radCarousel1_ItemDataBound(object sender, ItemDataBoundEventArgs e)
{
    RadButtonElement carouselItem = (RadButtonElement)e.DataBoundItem;
    carouselItem.MouseDown += new MouseEventHandler(carouselItem_MouseDown);
    // ... Other initializations
}

void carouselItem_MouseDown(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.Clicks > 1)
    {
        MessageBox.Show("Double click");
    }
}

I hope this will help you. Feel free to write back if you have any other question.
