About Mouse Events, Triggers, and System Variables
There are several mouse events that can occur at runtime. For example, when an operator clicks the mouse on an item, the item clicked can signal whether it received a single or a double-click.
You can execute a command or initiate an action whenever one of the following mouse events occurs:

- operator clicks the mouse
