List actions, double click, etc.

[atostaine]

I'm using a Prim_list VL-Web. This is an inventory inquiry for soft goods, style/color/size, etc.

I need two+ user actions, I use double click to drill down into the data, double click on style, see all the colors, double click on color, see all the sizes.
I need another action to view detail transactions.

I can't use itemclick because they want double click. I'm thinking a right click would be best because I need view detail transactions, as well as view receiving, view shipping, etc.

What is the best way to do this so web users are comfortable with it?

Thanks, Art

I see this rather old post without any response, but am hopeful that maybe someone has an idea solution on how to address the need for multiple user actions for items in a list or tile.

In a list or tile component, we want two user action options such as click and double-click.
We start with click as the default, and works fine.
But, if we add a double-click, then we end up with two evtroutines that will be triggered, both the single click and the double click.

How would or should we implement both click event features, without the duplicate events?

EVTROUTINE Handling(#Tile1.ItemClick)
* do action 'A'
ENDROUTINE

EVTROUTINE Handling(#Tile1.ItemDoubleClick)
* do action 'B', but not action 'A'
ENDROUTINE

Double click isn't really a web/mobile thing. Perhaps you need to review expectations. Users on those platforms are used to single clicks. Perhaps an expender or a plus(+) button to expand. Have a described action rather than expectations of double click which was more a windows thing.

I acknowledge, and agree, that double-click is more of a windows concept. If VL could implement other touch gestures, such as a long press, then it opens up more options to utilize in the mobile environment for non-general, or advanced user use cases.

As has been said, right click is more of a windows concept. You can add buttons or icons to the list and then the user can click on the appropriate button/icon to trigger the required action. This approach works well in that it is much clearer to the end user.
