Click and DblClick conflict? (VFP6)

I have a form which contains a grid. I want the user to be able to
(left)Click on a row of the grid to perform a Click method; and to
DoubleClick to do a different, DblClick method.
I can't get them to work together, even when I increase the _DBLCLICK value
to its maximum (about 5.5 seconds). The form seems to respond to a
doubleclick as if it were a singleclick.
I *am* able to get Click and RightClick to coexist.
I can also code for a DblClick by itself.
But the bottom line is: I can't get Click, DblClick, and RightClick all to
function in the same control or object.
Why is this?
(By the way, I think the explanation of _DBLCLICK in the VFP 6.0 Language
Reference is wrong. It says the syntax is _DBLCLICK = nTicks, but it should
say _DBLCLICK = nSeconds, where 0 < nSeconds <= 5.5)

I have never been able to get doubleclick and click to work
together. The doubleclick causes click to fire.

You could do something like this:

* Click event code
IF INKEY(__DBLCLICK,"M")=151
NODEFAULT
this.DblClick()
RETURN
ENDIF
*
* Your regular click code here
*
***

Note that this will wait for a mouse click for whatever your _DBLCLICK
setting is before executing your Click code. It may not be what you want.

Because like most of Foxpro controls, it's kludgey. One normally doesn't
notice but every now and then you get to see between the gaps.

Not in VFP6. That started in VFP7, I believe.
