Hi!

I have a rich text editbox on a form and when I double-click it, I want its text to be copied to myString. However, the program alwaly 'freezes' after the FIRST click; thus e.Clicks == 1 is always true and I can never click fast enough for e.Clicks ever to be '2'.

Here's my code:  

private void rtBox_MouseDown(object sender, system.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs e)
{
   if ( e.Clicks == 2 )    //on double-click, copy text to grid
   {
    string myString = rtBox.Text;
    }
}

How do I 'trap' a double-click so that e.Clicks == 2?

Thank you!

John Fowler.
