System Tray Click and Double click
I would like to use both Click and Double click on my applications system tray icon. I'm using the common Shell_NotifyIcon API to create the icon and Form_MouseMove to detect any mouse operations that accure.
The problem is that I'm unable to find a way to determan if a mouse event was a single click or a double click since there is no WM_LButtonClick constant. If I check for LButtonDown or LButtonUp the events both accure with a double click aswell.
Is there anyway to know if the user clicked knowing it was not supposed to be a double click?

Not a bad approach. I actually did it a different way. I took the systems double click speed and I waited that long before executing the click command.
If I double click was producted during the systems double click duration then the click event would not activate.
Its not exactly pretty but it works.

Private Const WM_LBUTTONDBLCLK = &H203
Private Const WM_LBUTTONUP = &H202
Private Const WM_LBUTTONDOWN = &H201
Private Const WM_RBUTTONUP = &H205
