All users must just click once on the project items in my APMS 4 project.
A lot of users are clicking twice (dubble click) on the items.
Due to the activated actions the user get errors.

Does someone know a way to elliminate or disable the dubble click function in APMS?

A registry change for the double click delay of the mouse button is possible. But you have to be careful when you tweak it. I would suggest changing the value at start and restoring it at stop.
Try to use the following:

Key : HKCU \Control Panel \Microsoft Input Device \Mouse
Entry : DoubleClickTime
System : 95, 95+IE4.x, 98, ME, NT, 2K
Type : REG_DWORD
Default : 500
Delay in milliseconds the system must wait between 2 clicks fro them to be considered a double-click
Good luck

Thanx, Yos.

I'll try.
But I just have found a more easier solution....
just activate "wait for program to finish running before continuing" in the object properties.

Thanks anyway.

Note: I would strongly suggest you don't change the user's mouse settings, ever, at all. I would be seriously offended if I alt-tabbed out of your application only to find that I couldn't double-click on files like I was used to -- even if it only occurred while your program was running. In fact, I'd bet most users would think your program was just programmed really poorly if that were the case ("it broke my double-click!").
