Can't disable a button 1

[forrestcupp]

I have a form where a certain button plays an audio file that is about 3 seconds long. I am using System.Media.SoundPlayer.PlaySync() because I don't want the user to do anything while the audio is playing. So my code is something like.

button.Enabled = false;
MySound.PlaySync();
button.Enabled = true;

My problem is that even though I have disabled the button, it still accepts clicks. So if I click the button 10 times while the audio plays for 3 seconds, it will repeat the audio 10 times. I want to truly disable the button so that it will not accept clicks. I don't understand the point of graying out a button if it isn't truly disabled. I have also tried:

button.Click -= new EventHandler(MyClick);
MySound.PlaySync();
button.Click += new EventHandler(MyClick);

That didn't work either. Any help would be appreciated.

I just found the solution thanks to a man named Kevin Delafield. It is as follows:

button.Enabled = false;
button.Update();
MySound.PlaySync();
Application.DoEvents();
button.Enabled = true;

this worked perfectly.
