[Gambas-user] "Long" click

[ML]

My guess is that you want a new form to appear after the button is
raised, but having been pressed more than X seconds.
To this end, I'd add a timer with the desired "long-click lenght" to the
main form (the one that "receives the long-click").
Maybe also the form and all its controls should have an observer and
apply the timer to the observer, if more than one control may receive
the "long click".
So it would be MouseDown->Enable timer->MouseUp->Disable Timer. If the
timer triggered, the form should be shown:

  Public Sub Form1_MouseDown()
 
    'Start timing clicks
    tmrLongClickEnabled = True
 
  End
 
  Public Sub Form1_MouseUp()
 
    'Stop timing clicks
    tmrLongClick.Enabled = False
 
  End
 
  Public Sub tmrLongClick_Timer()
 
    'If the timer triggered before being disabled, it was a
"long-click", so we show the "other" form
    Form2.Show()
 
    'We also disable the timer so no more than ONE form is shown per
"long-click".
    tmrLongClick.Enabled = False
  
  End

Disclaimer: It looks good on paper, but did not actually try it.
