I have an Excel application that includes a form with a couple of listboxes
and command buttons. For one of the listboxes I want to capture both
single-click and double-click events. So I have a bit of code like:

Private Sub lstMemberList_Change()
...
End Sub


Private Sub lstMemberList_DblClick(ByVal Cancel As MSForms.ReturnBoolean)
...
End Sub ' lstMemberList_DblClick

If I launch the form, single-click an item and then double-click the same
item everything works OK.

If I launch the form, single-click an item and then double-click some other
item everything works OK.

However, if I launch the form and then immediately double-click an item I
get the Change event but never get the DblClick event. A subsequent
double-click in this same launch of the form works OK.

So it appears that the first double-click on the listbox after the form is
launched is lost. I tried recoding the Change event to a Click event and
that didn't make any difference. I've tested this in XL97 and 2003 with the
same results.

Any thoughts?

TIA,

The problem seems to be that nothing in the listbox is selected until you
click on it; so the first click actually causes the Change event to occur
(you are changing from "Nothing" to the selected value). The only way I have
found around this is to set the listbox value by code first, e.g:
ListBox1.ListItem = 0. If this is on a userform you can set this when the
userform is activated, then the first click does not fire the Change event.

Actually when the listbox is populated with members, one of them is always
initially selected. ListItem is never = -1.

Any other ideas?
