I would rather base the implementation on the 'doubleClickInterval()'
for the QTimer, and use a boolean variable to handle when it's
single or double click, so you can then implement
'mouseDoubleClickEvent()'.

You can check an implementation here:

Not sure if it's better than your approach,
but at least it's simpler IMHO.

Let me know if that's enough, otherwise, we can try to address the
C++ issues you are having in your code.

Cheers
