Hi Josh,
    at first glace, I'd say there is a problem with your code then. The
"event" parameter is sent to the onMouse handler and definitely has a value.
But just to make sure, does the Euphoria error refer to a line in win32lib
code or your code?

There is a known bug with double-clicks being ignored on Window controls,
but you mention that you're using buttons. Is that a PushButton control
then?

To fix the ignored double-clicks you need to change the win32lib.ew file.
Replace the line that has ...

    vWindowClassStyle = {CS_HREDRAW, CS_VREDRAW}

with ...

    vWindowClassStyle = {CS_HREDRAW, CS_VREDRAW, CS_DBLCLKS }

but i don't think that's your problem, in this case.

For other controls, Windows sends the mouse events in this order ...

onMouse(WM_LBUTTONDOWN)
onMouse(WM_LBUTTONUP)
onClick()
onMouse(WM_LBUTTONDBLCLK)
onMouse(WM_LBUTTONUP)

and there maybe some onMouse(WM_MOUSEMOVE) in amongst those.

Finally, you can always send me the code (or a reproducable sample of the
problem) to examine.
