Hi,

I've created a C# winform that shows the ShowFindDialog-dialog:

objMap.ShowFindDialog( Address, new MapPoint.GeoFindState(),(int)this.Handle, true);

However, if I click the mouse on the parent form a couple of times (like 15 times, fast), one click is caught by that Form and the code after this line is executed whilst the dialog is still open. This is obviously very bad, and causes exceptions later in the code. Has anybody experienced similar problems and perhaps a work around for this?

I've found out that the problem occurs when I click anywhere on the parent window and then move my mouse over the child-dialog.

Yeah, same happen(ed)s with my app.
I did not find the perfect solution.
What I do is: open all dialogs, forms etc. from a button in the main Form.

Guys:

First suggestion: before calling Find dialog, disable the parent window and
enter a dead loop monitoring the dialog window appearance/disapearance
(use WinAPI), then enable the parent.

Better way is to take MapPoint 2002 Find Dialog VB sample from

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en...ml/mapfind.asp

and customize it the way you like. You can make it truly modal/modeless
that way - whatever you want.

The example is done in VB, I don't think it is too difficult to redo
it in C#, though.

Well, to be exactly I have my problems with nearly all other child windows, but not with the find dialog (I took my code from the sample...).
