Prevent double-click from double firing a command

Question

Given that you have a control that fires a command:

Is there a way to prevent the command from being fired

Answer 1

Wrap the code in a try-catch-finally or try-finally block. The finally statement will always be called regardless of any error occurring in the try.

Example

    private Cursor _CursorType;
    // Property to set and get the cursor type
    public Cursor CursorType
    {
      get {return _CursorType; }
      set
      {
        _CursorType = value;
        OnPropertyChanged("CursorType");
      }
    }


    private void ExecutedMethodOnButtonPress()
    {
       try
       {
         CursorType = Cursors.Wait;
         // Run all other code here
       }
       finally
       {
         CursorType = Cursors.Arrow;
       }
    }

NOTE: the CursorType is a property that the UserControl or Window is bound to
