I created a clean WindowsFormsApplication solution, added a ToolStrip to the main form, and placed one button on it. I've added also an OpenFileDialog, so that the Click event of the ToolStripButton looks like the following:
private void toolStripButton1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
openFileDialog1.ShowDialog();
}
I didn't change any other properties or events.
The funny thing is that when I double-click the ToolStripButton (the second click must be quite fast, before the dialog opens), then cancel both dialogs (or choose a file, it doesn't really matter) and then click in the client area of main form, a NullReferenceException crashes the application (error details attached at the end of the post). Please note that the Click event is implemented while DoubleClick is not.
What's even more strange that when the OpenFileDialog is replaced by any user-implemented form, the ToolStripButton blocks from being clicked twice.
I'm using VS2008 with .NET3.5. I didn't change many options in VS (only fontsize, workspace folder and line numbering).
Does anyone know how to solve this? It is 100% replicable on my machine, is it on others too?
One solution that I can think of is disabling the button before calling OpenFileDialog.ShowDialog() and then enabling the button back (but it's not nice). Any other ideas?
And now the promised error details:
System.NullReferenceException was unhandled
