Double click callback on a cell in uitable without Java?

After google-ing for a while, I cannot find a feasible solution to realize the double click callback on a cell in uitable.

Does anyone have a better idea or workaround for this? without java or findjobj.

How about CellSelectionCallback and test the figure SelectionType property for 'open' ?

[Song]

Try following codes:

function test()

f = figure('Position',[200 200 400 150]);
dat = rand(3); 
cnames = {'X-Data','Y-Data','Z-Data'};
rnames = {'First','Second','Third'};
t = uitable('Parent',f,'Data',dat,'ColumnName',cnames,... 
            'CellSelectionCallback', @cbk, ...
            'RowName',rnames,'Position',[20 20 360 100]);

      function cbk(~, ~)
          ty = get(f, 'SelectionType')
      end

end

You'll see only normal comes out from the selectiontype.

In R2020a and ealier, 'SelectionType' was not honorored by UItables; starting from R2020b, the above solution should work.

Using 2021B at the moment, and above solution **mostly** works, except if one double clicks a cell that's already selected. In this case, the CellSelectionCallback is never fired at all. Curious if there's any solution for detecting a double-click in a cell that's already selected?
