prevent unwanted release of mouse click with autohotkey

Question

Hi i have a problem with my mouse, when i want to drag stuff or highlight text, i hold my left click down but my mouse sometimes releases the click briefly and then reclick so that i lose the stuff i was dragging. So i would like to make an autohotkey script that would stop it.

the way i see it, it would do something like: when the clic is pressed the script forces the clic down for like 100 ms and then releases it, but if i hold the clic down it would refresh the timer indefinitely so that if my mouse release the clic for less than 100 ms it would still holding it down.

I don't know if this is possible so any help would be great. thanks for your time.

The dreaded Double Click Syndrome. I have it too with my logitech wireless mouse. The instant double-click is very annoying and makes dragging anything impossible. — syaz

    if (!GetKeyState("LButton", "P"))
    {
        SendInput, {LButton Up}
        return
    }
}

$Lbutton Up::
return
