OpenFileDialog and double click

[Chris Holbrook]

If I double-click on a file in OpenFileDialog called as below, it appears to select the file OK and dismiss the open dialog, both good, but also my app picks up the mouse click (or clicks? haven't worked out which), which is not so good.

Has anyone else noticed this, and/or can suggest a remedy?

'---------------------------------------------------------------------
FUNCTION getpic (hD AS LONG) AS STRING
    LOCAL buf, spath, sfile AS STRING
    LOCAL dwstyle AS DWORD
    LOCAL hFile AS LONG

    '------------------------ get picture file
    dwStyle = %OFN_EXPLORER OR %OFN_FILEMUSTEXIST OR %OFN_HIDEREADONLY
    Buf   = "Picture files (*.JPG)|*.JPG|"
    'IF gddlpath <> "" THEN spath = gddlpath
    IF OpenFileDialog (hD, "Locate JPG file ", sfile, spath, buf, "JPG", dwstyle) = 0 THEN
       EXIT FUNCTION
    END IF
    FUNCTION = sfile
END FUNCTION

Shouldn't, unless you are double clicking the OK/Open/Save Button like another recent thread talks about (Or Triple Clicking the file...). Double clicking the file or single clicking the file and single clicking OK/Open/Save should work fine without anything going to your app.

Just a random thought:
Is your app using DDT? If so, you might be getting multiple windoze messages depending on what & how the app deals with the return string.
