Hello:
While testing a component, I discovered that if I double-click on the
control, it captures the mouse. I definitely do not want this to happen.
The problem occurs when I have set up to capture the WM_LBUTTONUP message
whether or not I have a handler. I also use the DOWN, MOVE and LEAVE
messages with no problem. I had to add ReleaseCapture() at the end of the
UP handler to avoid the problem. To say the least, this surprised me. Is
this behavior to be expected? Also, is this an ok way to work around this
type of problem?

Thanks.
Jim

Thanks for the info. I wasn't aware that csCaptureMouse is initially set.
This also seems to work. Since this way is more direct, I have switched to
it. I am still puzzled why I haven't noticed this for other components and,
for this component, only for the WM_LBUTTONUP message. Anyway, whatever
works. Thanks again.
