Is there an easy way to implement double clicking in Think C?  That
is, I have an object that I want to do something special when I double
click on it (and something else when I single click on it).  Actually,
the function I want is similar to what happens to an icon in the
finder:  a single click (and holding the cursor down) allows you to
drag an icon around the screen; a double click allows you to edit the
icon's name.

I assume I can do something with TickCount and GetDblTime in my
object's DoClick method, but I would rather have a DoDoubleClick
method that gets a message when I double click (and not have the
DoClick method get a message).  Is this done for me somewhere in TCL,
or do I have to do it myself in my DoClick method?
