Can you disable the nodeclick event in TreeView?

[brent]

I'm trying to make an Explorer type app. If I collapse a node, and after the collapse event completes the mouse is now over another node, it generates a nodeclick event on that node. Then this node gets selected. Normally in Windows Explorer, if you collapse a node with a selected child node, the collapsed node becomes selected.

Normally when you collapse, the mouse remains over the plus/minus box. The problem above happens when you have lots of expanded nodes, such that the vertical scroll bar is displayed, and then collapse so that the scroll bar is no longer needed. Then the nodes above the node you collapsed may move under the mouse before you release the mouse, thereby generating a nodeclick event.

Please, please, please help. My nodeclick event calls a lengthy procedure which should only be called when you actually click a node...

You could test for and set a flag like bInClickEvent inside the Node_Click event:
Node_Click()
If bInClickEvent Then Exit Sub
bInClickEvent = True
...
bInClickEvent = False
End Sub
However, I am not sure if it will keep another node from appearing selected.

You could also try some technique to hourglass the mouse--disable access to the form immediately upon entering the sub and returning control before exiting.
