I have A2K

About a year ago I had a routine that would allow the user to double click text or a block with attributes and then would show the appropriate edit dialog box. Does anyone know of this routine, send me a copy, or know where I can get again?
Thanks for your effort in helping me!!

What happens now when you double click the text or attribute in A2K?

Check that DBLCLKEDIT = on

Cheers

Nothing. I checked my help file for System Variables, there is no listing for DBLCLKEDIT in A2K.
This is what I got at my command line.
Command: dblclkedit
Unknown command "DBLCLKEDIT". Press F1 for help.
Do you have any other ideas?

Thanks for your help!! Charles S. Parnell

Not the solution you had but you could, click on the block, then if you have a keyboard shortcut like A or shift-A (for attedit), you could set up a quick attribute edit. Or you could add it to your right-click menu. Just some thoughts.
 
OK then try this one

set PICKFIRST = 1

If that doesn't work I have got one more drastic measure.

Cheers
Mike
 
o.k., i have dblclk = on and pickfirst = 1, but still my double click edit only seems to work at random times? any suggestions?
