I am not sure you can change the style in c# or vb but what I have done in the past is used the mouse down event and in that event is passed a clicks value so you can test for example if the left button has been pressed how many times. with the following code in the mouse down event private void button1_MouseDown(object sender, MouseEventArgs e) { if ((e.Button==MouseButtons.Left) && (e.Clicks==2)) { } } I know that is not the DoubleClick event but I think the problem is when .net inherits the cbase control into the button it does not inherit the double click for buttons I don't know why that is but that means its not available for you. I might be wrong but the previous code in a mouse down event works fine. The previous code also will allow you to catch both single and double click and do what ever you like.

I don't know what things like ControlStyles..::.StandardDoubleClick mean... it looks like a C++ notation, not C#. Thanks.
