Double Click On Form

I have this:

vb Code:

Private Sub ImageShop_DoubleClick(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.DoubleClick
        openFile.ShowDialog()
End Sub

Which is supposed to show my dialog box when someone double clicks on the form, but that doesn't work.

I have a menu item that is single click, and that works fine...

So... Why doesn't the double click work when someone double clicks on the form?

Is ImageShop the name of your form? Make sure that they are double clicking on the form and not on some control contained in the form.

Yes, it is the name of the form, and the form is empty when it loads, so when someone double clicks on the form portion, nothing happens.

since it's handling Me.DoubleClick... doesn't matter what the name of the form is...

But otherwise I'd agree... make sure you are double-clicking the form, and not another control.

Have you tried to insert a break point to make sure the program even gets to that sub?

Nope, it doesn't get to the double click event

here is what the screen looks like when I double click on the gray:

is that a normal form? Or is that an MDIParent form?

MDIParent

that's why it isn't working... that's not the form you are clicking on... there's a special hidden control on there that is the MDI Container... I don't know off hand if it exposes events like the form does...

It's going to take some research...
