Subject: button events.  Wanting to wait for either one or two clicks.
Newsgroups: comp.sys.atari.st

When using the GEM event manager, is there a way of setting up
an event which involves clicking one OR two buttons?  I
am thinking of a case like the desktop, where one can select a
disk by clicking once and get a directory by double-clicking.

In reading the Laser C documentation for evnt_button, and
evnt_multi it seemed as if one was restricted to only one
type of button event at a time.

Is a way of getting around this by polling the number of
'one-click' events?

Also, when using the resource construction program from
Megamax, is it possible to create an icon which is not on the
main rectangle i.e. what do you do if you wish to place an
icon on the background desktop?
