Common Dialog and Timer Events/MCI Done Event

Author	Message
Michael E. Flo #1 / 3	Common Dialog and Timer Events/MCI Done Event Hello fellow VB programmers: I have an audio application that uses the DONE event to trigger the next play operation. The trouble is, the user might be picking a file from an OPEN dialog box (common dialog control) at the time the DONE event is generated. Unfortuneately, the DONE event is ignored. I have also noticed that TIMER events from the timer object are not generated if the dialog box is open, however, if I have a self made dialog box open, these events work fine - even though the dialog box is modal. I would like to take advantage of all the functionallity built into the common dialog without having to write my own dialog. Does anyone know how to make these events continue firing when the common dialog open dialog is active. Perhaps with some API setting? Thanks for your help. Regards, Michael E. Floyd

Ken Slaug #2 / 3	Common Dialog and Timer Events/MCI Done Event The answer may very well be simpler than you are making it. Try setting the Timer.Enabled property to False first, then set CommonDialog.Action, then set the Timer.Enabled property back to True.
