Mouse Button Press distinction between "Left Mouse Button" and "Double Click Button"

I have a Figure on which I load an .png image. I need to distinguish between SelectionType: "Left click" and "Double click". Below is my program. As I run it, when ever a Double click is excecuted it displays a "Left click". How do I make the program identify a "Double click"?

figure(1)
im= imread('Mouse.PNG');            %loading the image
i=imshow(im);
set(i,'buttondownfcn',@mybttnfcn);  %setting the callback function

function mybttnfcn(h,~)
haxes = get(h,'parent');            %axes properties
hfigure = get(haxes,'parent');      %figure properties
b = get(hfigure,'selectiontype');   %identifying Selectiontype
xy = get(gca,'CurrentPoint');       %getting current points

    if strcmpi(b,'normal')
        text(xy(1,1),xy(1,2),'Left click')      %displaying Left-click
    elseif strcmp(b,'extend')
        text(xy(1,1),xy(1,2),' Middle button')  %displaying Middle-click   
    elseif strcmpi(b,'alt')
        text(xy(1,1),xy(1,2),'Right click')     %displaying Right-click
    elseif strcmpi(b,'open')
        text(xy(1,1),xy(1,2),'Double-click')    %displaying Double-click
    else
        text(xy(1,1),xy(1,2),'Retry')
    end
end

Hi Vinay,

I understand that you want to identify the type of click the user does in the AppDesigner.

Unfortunately, it is currently not possible to identify left or right clicks in AppDesigner. However, there are workarounds available to detect double clicks.

1. One approach is to use the 'WindowButtonDownFcn' function. You can refer to the following link for more details: WindowButtonDownFcn
2. Another option is to use the 'WaitForButtonPress' function. You can write code similar to the example below to detect a double click:

w=waitforbuttonpress;
if w==0 % checking for single click
    k=waitforbuttonpress;
    if k==0 % checking for double click
        disp("Hello World")
    end
end

For more detailed documentation on both methods, you can refer to this link:

Double Click Documentation

Hope it helps!

Hi,

1. You can add a delay to distinguish single click from a double click, as your double clicks were perceived as two times single click.

You can have a look at this answer, which solves the same issue which you are facing:

Distinguish between single and double clicks with a delay

2. But, if you even don't want to burn half-second each time, then you could add a click threshold, and take action on single or double type of clicks.

For this you can have a look here:

Distinguish between single and double clicks without a delay

Hope it helps!
