Java : detect triple-click without firing double-click

Question

I have a JTable in which I want to call a function when a cell is double-clicked and call another function when the cell is triple-clicked.

When the cell is triple-c

Answer 1

The previous answers are correct: you have to account for the timing and delay recognizing it as a double click until a certain amount of time has passed. The challenge is that, as you have noticed, the user could have a very long or very short double click threshold. So you need to know what the user's setting is. This other Stack Overflow thread ( Distinguish between a single click and a double click in Java ) mentions the awt.multiClickInterval desktop property. Try using that for your threshold.
