Hallo Frank

I never encountered this problem (I did have exactly the same trouble you had 
sending keystrokes though, if it's any concilation. I just gave up on it. 
Next time I'll start of with WM_COMMAND and wParam=1 like you said) but a 
quick workaround comes to mind. Declare a variable with component scope and 
store the time in it on MouseDown. Just before doing that, compare the 
current time with the time in the variable and invoke DblClick if the 
difference does not exceed the double click time. You may even be able to 
query Windows for the double click time. I would look for GetSystemInfo and 
the like.
Groeten, Martin.
