I am very pleased that you have decided to not only keep LBB up to Microsoft standards, but to make enhancements to LBB, in particular the singleclick branch name feature.
But what does this mean: "a double-click will activate both handlers"?
Again, thank you for your fine work on LBB

It's just confirming the way Windows works. When you (single) click on something, Windows reacts to that click immediately, i.e. as soon as you release the mouse button. Therefore if you do a double-click it is inevitable that the first of those clicks must already have been detected.
So if you have both a single-click and a double-click listbox handler set up, as LB has always allowed you to do and LBB now does too, a double-click will cause both handlers to be activated (the single-click event on the first click and the double-click event on the second click).
I mentioned it because the topic has come up previously and some people seem to be confused by it, despite the fact that it's unavoidable (to distinguish unambiguously between a single-click and a double-click Windows would have to wait for at least the 'double-click time' before responding to a single click, which would be irritating).
Richard.

Just what I wanted (storing arrays in RAF) and at just the right time!
Thanks, Richard!

It's probably not a coincidence: that feature was on my 'wish list' because somebody (you, I expect) had at some point asked for it.
However I should apologise to those whose suggestions didn't make it into this release. I wasn't in the mood for a major upgrade; in fact any update at all would have been unlikely had it not been for the Code Signing Certificate issue.
It's perhaps a little ironic that I went to the trouble of updating the certificate, despite my enthusiasm for LBB being at a low ebb, when Carl doesn't even bother to sign his executables at all (although how he can justify that in these security-conscious days I have no idea).
Richard.

I love the IDE combo box, especially the case-insensitive sort! Nice touch. Thanks for being there for us...

I can't take any credit for that. A case-insensitive sort is the only kind that Windows natively supports, by means of the LBS_SORT style bit.

My garden has kept me busy a bit so noticed this message only just today. Well done Richard. Glad to see you're still hanging in there.
And thank you - I almost forgot.
