TDateTimePicker is missing OnDblClick event with DELPHI XE2

apologize if this question sounds somewhat stupid, but with XE2, i can see that the OnDblClick event of the TDateTimePicker seems to be missing from the list of events. Is it really the case? Here is how i proceed:

  • I start a new VCL application
  • instanciate a TDateTimePicker on the default Form

I can see from that the OnDblClick event is missing from the list of events of TDateTimePicker. On the other hand, with Delphi 7, it works fine and i can see the OnDblClick event. I did not manage to find any relevant information about that so far.

Is there some additional settings that one would need to do or am I simply missing some obvious step here?

Solution

  • Delphi 5-XE exposed the OnDblClick event in TDateTimePicker, but the event doesn't actually fire when you double-click on the DTP at runtime (I just tried it). There is no WM_LBUTTONDBLCLICK message generated.

    A bug report was filed in QualityCentral, but was closed "As Designed":

    #33027 TDateTimePicker.OnDblClick does not fire

    The OnDblClick event was removed from TDateTimePicker in Delphi XE.
