Double-Clicking: A Learning Experience
Even the most simple of objectives can often be optimized. It's the fun of making code smaller, more readable, more efficient that drives the developer spirit. Even if you don't consider yourself a developer, the lessons in this video will help guide your decisions when implementing features into your database.
This video showcases the breakdown of one simple feature, double-clicking. It does this using an optimized custom function. The result is a more flexible solution with more efficient code - which could actually be optimized even more than presented!
If you simply need double-clicking features in your FileMaker database then steal the custom function in the attached file. If you want to learn a valuable lesson in FileMaker development, then watch the video!

Sub-second pause
FYI ... one welcome feature of FileMaker 10 is sub-second pause intervals. You no longer have to resort to a plug-in for a pause of .1 second.

Thanks Dave
Great to know! I guess I've not spent enough time with 10 to know these little things. Thanks.

else condition
The else condition in MyScript at the end of the video seems not working.
Does not matter how many clicks, It always shows the else condition dialog.
