I am performing a particular operation when a click event is fired.
If a user continuously clicks that button control as soon as the existing event finishes the new event gets called. Hence my operation fails.

I tried keeping a flag to do this but as soon the flag gets activated the new instance gets activated.

Is there any way to solve this.

you should show some message or dialogue box and close that box when your event completes its execution or disable the button

Yes you are right. How to hide that message box because while running it should occur as a hidden background message

Solution suggested by Cpallini below is better choice what you can do when you click the button disable the button and at the last line of the event enable it.

You could disable the button at the very beginning of the event handler and enable it again when the operation is completed.
