NSButton Multiple clicks

Question

I have an IBAction of when the button is clicked to change my view. How can I handle multiple clicks for example if I click the button a second time to cause another action?

Or do I need to delete the button after it has been clicked and then create a new one in its place? If so how do I handle the click event?

You can add NSClickGestureRecognizer to the desired view from the storyboard Library as seen below

You can simply drag an IBAction from this object to the View controller

The Attributes inspector will provide you with many useful options like Number of clicks that should match and button masks

You can check the clickCount of the mouseDown event:

if ([event clickCount] > 1)
{
    // ... do double-click action
}
else
{
    // ... do single-click action
}

Sorry Im a little new to xcode, how do you set a button to be an event? – Grant Wilkinson Jan 25 '12 at 05:19
You can make a sub-class of NSButton, make sure that your button is of that subclass and override the -mouseDown: event in your subclass. – user1118321 Jan 25 '12 at 05:22

if you have both a single click and double click action this will always fire the single click event before the double click event which isn't ideal (doesn't behave the same as like `doubleAction` on `NSTableView`) – Charlton Provatas Apr 14 '18 at 18:14

Correct. That appears to be what the asker wanted. – user1118321 Apr 15 '18 at 01:35
