    Why do mouse clicks pass through the file

    when i go to open a file with a file dialog box, i double click on the file i want to open, the file opens ok but the clics are passed to the underlying control and my program picks them up. should this happen ? and can i stop it anyway ?

    do i need to temporarily disable the control during the file method or something?

    its very annoying - i thought the mouse handlers for the open form would take care of it but apparently it isnt :S

    i have recieved a solution to this problem now so please consider this thread closed.

    the problem was the mouse_up event was firing after the fileopendialog had closed ( it happens too damn fast) and was being picked up by the underlying control firing my mouse_up event handler.

    this can be worked around by using the 'control.capture = true;' & 'control.capture = false' to flag it as being handled/unhandled.

    hope this helps someone else.
