 SUB Form_DblClick ()
 SUB ctlname_DblClick ([Index AS INTEGER])
 
 Usage Notes
   ■ For a form, the DblClick event occurs when the user double-clicks a
     disabled control or a blank area of a form using the left mouse button.
 
   ■ For a control, the DblClick event occurs when the user:
     • Double-clicks a control with the left mouse button
     • Double-clicks an item in a simple combo box (Style = 1), file list
       box, or list box
     • Changes the Path property for a directory list box in code
     • Sets a file list box's FileName property in code to a valid existing
       file name (that is, a file name with no wildcard characters)
 
   ■ To distinguish between left and right mouse buttons, use the MouseDown
     and MouseUp events. See: ◄MouseDown Event►  ◄MouseUp Event►
 
   ■ You can use a DblClick event procedure to carry out multiple steps with
     a single action, such as double-clicking to select an item in a list box
     and at the same time to close the dialog box.
 
   ■ A DblClick event always recognizes this event ordering: MouseDown,
     MouseUp, Click, and DblClick.
 
   ■ If the DblClick event does not occur within the system's double-click
     time limit, the object recognizes another Click event. The double-click
     time limit can be adjusted with the user's mouse settings.
