Et_ITEM_PRESSED event firing two times

Question

Hi ,
I have a added a button to one of the windows and use the
et_ITEM_PRESSED in the ItemEvent to do something. My problem is whenever I click the button the event fires two times. I thought it was my code but the sample code in the CatchingEvents project does the same.
Does anyone know any wayaround it?
appologise if this question has been asked before (I assumed so but could not find any matches for my search)

Almost all the item event in SBO executes two times before and after SBO events handler works. If you dont catch one of the events SBO will execute two events in one time. To avoide that you should cacth the events before "OR" after the SBO Events Handler Works.
For Example:
<i><b>Before Action:</b></i>
If pVal.ItemUID = "1" And pVal.EventType = et_ITEM_PRESSED Then
If Len(oEditText.String) <> 0 Then
If IsNumeric(oEditText.String) Then
If Len(oEditText.String) <> 15 Then
If pVal.Before_Action = True Then
BubbleEvent = False
SBOApplication.SetStatusBarMessage "Federal ID Must be 15 Character", bmt_Short
oTmpForm.Items("41").Click  ....
<i><b>Action Success:</b></i>If pVal.Action_Success = True Then
Set oItem = oTmpForm.Items("8")
Set oEditText = oItem.Specific
sDocNum = CLng(oEditText.String)
Set oItem = oTmpForm.Items("29")
Set oEditText = oItem.Specific
sJumlah = oEditText.String
If sJumlah = "" Then
BubbleEvent = False
That's all. Hopefully helps.
