In the program that I have created, when a pane's caption is double-clicked, the whole program crashes. Is there a way to disable double clicking the caption to automatically dock a pane?

The program is very complex that I am creating. There is really no way to post a code sample.

When you double-click the pane caption, several Action events are run. In those events, I create and destroy other windows. When you manually drag the pane, there is no problem. When you double click the caption, there is a crash. The list of action events is basically the same for each way.

I found a way to prevent the crash. In the Action event for the docking pane manager, instead of immediately destroying any pane, I start a timer. After 100 milliseconds, I destroy the panes. It seems to be working.

My preference would have been to disable the ability to double click the Pane caption. I don't like it automatically docking. I think a better approach would be to run an event when it is pane caption is double clicked and let the develop decide what should happen.
