Changing into edit mode by double click into the field
Windows GUI
Universal GUI
While implementing a software for a customer and changing many editable fields a got an idea. For sure, I can change to the edit mode by clicking on the ‘change to edit mode’ button or by pressing ‘ctrl+e’. But wouldn’t it be great and intuitive to just double-click on a field which is not in edit mode and then it changes to edit mode? What do you think, is it a useful function?

Did you notice our "Default editmode" functionality of grid and form already?
Great idea to use double click b.t.w. when default editmode is not enabled on a subject for the form.

thanks for your reply. I noticed the function already but thanks for this additional idea!

I would like this feature for sure, in Universal GUI!
Update, to be clear:
I can imagine it is not desirable to implement this idea for the grid, now we have the option to start a double-click task that is bound to a cell in the grid. Otherwise you would get different behavior, depending on if such a double-click task is present.
Perhaps this idea should focus on the form?
