When I double click a file in the file chooser I get the following message.

The message

Is there anyway to disable it ?
This appears before the 'Activate' process instigates.
When you click on 'Overwrite' the process then continues as normal.

Any suggestions ?

Note# this is not specific to any one project. I get this in all instances where the FileChooser component is being used.

if you set the FileChoosers ReadOnly property it does not msg but you can still select items

This seems to be a bug. I can't find a way to capture the _DblClick() event. I even tried adding an Observer without success. The problem seems to have something to do with the FileChooser_Uncompress() routine which is in the FDirChooser.Class. Part of the code is below: -

Yeah FileChooser _DblCick does not do anything (there's some other controls have the same behaviour). The _Activate event fires on _DblClick instead for some reason? :-\

 That fixed it.
Changing the FileChooser property ReadOnly to True stopped the pop-up message.
This has annoyed me for such a long time - thanks guys !

I use the Activate event to process a file selection on double click.

Edit: The reason that the Activate event is used, 'may' be that when you have a standard control like FileChooser, where it is made up of two controls;
Which control is being double clicked? I imagine that under the covers, there are two distinct double click events that are merged into an Activate event.
This is a guess but should not be too far from the truth.
