WPF StackPanel with Click AND DoubleClick

 <StackPanel MouseDown="StackPanel_MouseDown">   <!--stackpanel content-->    <TextBlock>Hello</TextBlock></StackPanel>

Then in the event handler:

 private void StackPanel_MouseDown(object sender, MouseButtonEventArgs e)    {        if (e.ClickCount >= 2)        {             string hello; //only hit here on double click          }    }

Should work. Note that single clicking in the StackPanel would hit the event (but fail the if check)

...years later. @MoominTroll's solution is perfectly acceptable. Another option is to wrap the stack panel in a content control that supports the double click event.

<ContentControl MouseDoubleClick="DoubleClickHandler" >    <StackPanel>    </StackPanel></ContentControl>

The best way is to write your own mouse button handler with a timeout - if the event is fired again within the timeout period, then fire your doubleclick message, otherwise call the single click handler. Here's some sample code (Edit: originally found here):

/// <summary>/// For double clicks/// </summary>public class MouseClickManager {    private event MouseButtonEventHandler _click;    private event MouseButtonEventHandler _doubleClick;    public event MouseButtonEventHandler Click {        add { _click += value; }        remove { _click -= value; }    }    public event MouseButtonEventHandler DoubleClick {        add { _doubleClick += value; }        remove { _doubleClick -= value; }    }    /// <summary>    /// Gets or sets a value indicating whether this <see cref="MouseClickManager"/> is clicked.    /// </summary>    /// <value><c>true</c> if clicked; otherwise, <c>false</c>.</value>    private bool Clicked { get; set; }    /// <summary>    /// Gets or sets the timeout.    /// </summary>    /// <value>The timeout.</value>    public int DoubleClickTimeout { get; set; }    /// <summary>    /// Initializes a new instance of the <see cref="MouseClickManager"/> class.    /// </summary>    /// <param name="control">The control.</param>    public MouseClickManager(int doubleClickTimeout) {        this.Clicked = false;        this.DoubleClickTimeout = doubleClickTimeout;    }    /// <summary>    /// Handles the click.    /// </summary>    /// <param name="sender">The sender.</param>    /// <param name="e">The <see cref="System.Windows.Input.MouseButtonEventArgs"/> instance containing the event data.</param>    public void HandleClick(object sender, MouseButtonEventArgs e) {        lock (this) {            if (this.Clicked) {                this.Clicked = false;                OnDoubleClick(sender, e);            }            else {                this.Clicked = true;                ParameterizedThreadStart threadStart = new ParameterizedThreadStart(ResetThread);                Thread thread = new Thread(threadStart);                thread.Start(e);            }        }    }    /// <summary>    /// Resets the thread.    /// </summary>    /// <param name="state">The state.</param>    private void ResetThread(object state) {        Thread.Sleep(this.DoubleClickTimeout);        lock (this) {            if (this.Clicked) {                this.Clicked = false;                OnClick(this, (MouseButtonEventArgs)state);            }        }    }    /// <summary>    /// Called when [click].    /// </summary>    /// <param name="sender">The sender.</param>    /// <param name="e">The <see cref="System.Windows.Input.MouseButtonEventArgs"/> instance containing the event data.</param>    private void OnClick(object sender, MouseButtonEventArgs e) {        if (_click != null) {            if (sender is Control) {                (sender as Control).Dispatcher.BeginInvoke(_click, sender, e);            }        }    }    /// <summary>    /// Called when [double click].    /// </summary>    /// <param name="sender">The sender.</param>    /// <param name="e">The <see cref="System.Windows.Input.MouseButtonEventArgs"/> instance containing the event data.</param>    private void OnDoubleClick(object sender, MouseButtonEventArgs e) {        if (_doubleClick != null) {            _doubleClick(sender, e);        }    }}

Then, in the control you want to receive the events:

MouseClickManager fMouseManager = new MouseClickManager(200);fMouseManager.Click += new MouseButtonEventHandler(YourControl_Click); fMouseManager.DoubleClick += new MouseButtonEventHandler(YourControl_DoubleClick);
