Detecting & ignoring double click

I am working on a large test application which uses a number of pop up select boxes and select from lists. A particular problem which is causing some issues is that is the operator double clicks on a popup (or list) the Labview application sees that as two standard mouse clicks causing either instructions to be ignored or problems in selecting options from multiple lists, very occasionally a pop box will run through without the operator clicking on the OK , or other buttons, causing instructions to be ignored. Is there some way I can flush the mouse and keyboard buffer to clear mouse or keyboard input when going to a popup or list selection, or another fix for this problem

You could add a delay between your pop-up messages. I doesn't need to be much.  Just enough to avoid the double-click.

 

You can setup an event structure to look for a double-click on list boxes.

A delay will work for the sequence you have posted.  How is the code written in the actual applicaiton?   Is there an event structure?
