Form gets locked in place with Dialog Box & Ribbon Control

[Andrew Bogus]

This may be similar to open issue #3326. I have a Ribbon Form which seems to be working properly. However, when I open a dialog window, like OpenFileDialog, it will permanently lock my main form in place so I cannot move it around the screen.

I tested this is the RibbonFormDemo provided on this site with the same results.

I was just wondering if anybody else has come across this issue and has a solution or a work around?

Hi Andy,

Thanks for bringing this issue to our attention.

The issue of form being locked after an OpenFileDialog is closed has been identified as a bug and has been internally escalated. We will provide a fix timeline within two business days.

Thanks for being patient.

Best Regards,
Golda.

Thanks for the response. I have found a temporary hack that will enable the main form to move again one the dialog has been closed: Call RecreateHandle() on the main form directly after the dialog box is closed. This results in the main form having an annoying, unprofessional screen flash, but it seems to do the trick for the time being. I will be awaiting your fix. Once again, thanks for the reply.
