What problem are you actually trying to solve? Your ask is too generic.

The MBUTTONPAN variable controls the behavior of the "third" button (aka the middle button) within AutoCAD.

The default value for MBUTTONPAN is 1 which tells AutoCAD to support panning when you press-and-hold the middle mouse button or wheel.

The secondary value for MBUTTONPAN pan is 0. When set to that value, the middle mouse button will support the action defined in the customization file.

Looking to the Customization file, launching the CUI command will take you to the Customize User Interface dialog box where you can customize many elements of the AutoCAD interface. Among those is the behavior of mouse buttons.

in the CUI command, the middle mouse button is referred to as Button 3. You can adjust the various behaviors of Button 3 by expanding "Mouse Buttons" within the Customize User Interface dialog box. There you will see settings for Click, Shift+Click, Ctrl+Click, and Ctrl+Shift+Click. Each of those behaviors has a setting for Button 3.

Here's an AKN article that may be of assistance in your endeavors to customize the behavior of the middle mouse button: https://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/autocad/troubleshooting/caas/sfdcarticles/sfdcarticles/Wheel-button-on-mouse-does-not-perform-zoom-functions.html

... but unfortunately, not for double-clicking. And the AKN article seems to be about getting it to do what it's supposed to if it isn't, rather than getting it not to do that.

This question has come up several times before. I'm not aware of a solution -- in a quick Search, no one had one to offer on [for example] >this thread< or >this one<.

want to use trim instead of extend zoom for example or undo etc

You want TRIM command to be a mouse button? If yes, does your mouse driver allow you to assign different functions to the extra mouse buttons?

Which mouse and driver are you using?

Is there a "don't" or a "need to" missing there? [If you know how, presumably there's no need for the thread....]

One more time... Only your mouse driver can assign different actions to your mouse buttons: find out what those keyboard keys are, then in AUtoCAD you assign those unique keyboard keys to the action you need.

So, for example, your mouse's button #4 can be assigned to ALT+SHIFT+K for example, you then start CUI command inside AutoCAD and assign ALT+SHIFT+K to your TRIM command. Now you can use your mouse button #4 assigned to ALT+SHIFT+K to TRIM inside AutoCAD.

You just have to hope ALT+SHIFT+K is not something you hate to do in all other applications outside of AUtoCAD because that is what you will be stuck with forever.

I don't think you'll be able to re-assign wheel double click easily. You may need some kind of THIS solution.

Just trying to suggest ANY solution. Because otherwise, the answer would be NO. Not without turning off PAN too.

But see yourself... HERE is quite a comprehensive thread about this.

One more time:

NO TO WHAT YOU WANT IN AUTOCAD ONLY.

Now go try the other solutions we are all suggesting.

Good luck.
