Maybe. On things like buttons and menus, things that have a specific
Microsoft generated click event, the time delay is not significant. But on
things like bitmaps, windows, labels etc... it might be.
To me the 'concept' of a click is a short-sharp action (relatively speaking)
which is different from a mouse up/down event. THat's why I choose to
implement it this way.

Such people already tend to have set their double-click period to a
reasonable length for themselves.
However, I can easily set up Win32lib so that the coder has a choice over
this aspect of a click event. It'll be in the next version for you.
