    Resolved [RESOLVED] Double Click

    I have a form that uses an OpenFileDialog to open a windows browser to a specified directory. Now I can open the files contained in the directory by right clicking them and selecting open. However, for whatever reason, it will not open a file by double clicking on the file, but instead just closes the window. Whenever I use this same type of window from the native Windows system the double click always works for me. Is it possible for anyone to explain this behavior to me i.e. why does the double click not work from the Visual Basic OFD but does in the Windows environment?
    By the way, all the files contained in the directory are either Word, Excel, Adobe PDF, zip, Visio, and a few others I cannot remember right now.

    Below is the code used to call the OFD. the variable txtMasterFiles contains the filepath and directories to be open.

    ofdFileCabinet.InitialDirectory = txtMasterFiles
    ofdFileCabinet.ShowDialog()
