SYMPTOMS
========

Message handlers for the WM_LBUTTONDBLCLK, WM_RBUTTONDBLCLK and WM_MBUTTONDBLCLK
messages are not called for a Microsoft Foundation Classes (MFC) application
running in the Windows CE emulation environment or on a handheld PC (H/PC).

CAUSE
=====

For a window to receive the WM_LBUTTONDBLCLK, WM_RBUTTONDBLCLK, or
WM_MBUTTONDBLCLK messages, the class definition of the window must include the
CS_DBLCLKS style. By default, MFC does not add the CS_DBLCLKS style to the class
definition that it uses for single document interface (SDI) frame windows and
views on the Windows CE platform.

RESOLUTION
==========

To work around this problem, register a new class that includes the CS_DBLCLKS
style and use this new class when you create the window. You can do this in the
PreCreateWindow() method of the window that handles the double-click messages,
as in the following code:

Sample Code
-----------

     BOOL CtestView::PreCreateWindow(CREATESTRUCT& cs)
     {
        if (CView::PreCreateWindow(cs))
        {
           WNDCLASS wc;
           // Get the class information for the default MFC view class.
           ::GetClassInfo(AfxGetInstanceHandle(),cs.lpszClass,&wc);

           // Register a new class using the attributes of the default
           // view class, and make it the new default class.
           cs.lpszClass = AfxRegisterWndClass(wc.style | CS_DBLCLKS,
              wc.hCursor,wc.hbrBackground,wc.hIcon);
           return TRUE;
        }
        return FALSE;
     }

STATUS
======

This behavior is by design.
