I have a strange issue that has arisen recently:
Whenever I enter text, even a single character, into a textbox in any Form in my application it causes the form and its parent to close. I've checked for the following so far:
- Errant/mis-assigned event handlers that may be interpreting a keystroke as a Form cancel
- I am using keypreview in several windows but debugging shows this to not be a cause
- Happens in any form of the application
- Happens even with brand new text boxes dropped on the form
- Tried removing the WithEvents declaration from text box declarations (VB.NET)
- The result is DialogResult.Cancel when I break the code after Show or ShowDialog
- The forms do not use AcceptButton or CancelButton properties (set to none)
- Note: I am modifying a large codebase with a lot of code that I have yet to touch
What else could be causing this strange behavior?
