eFlow 5.2 Switching Layout using API

Question / Problem: 

While upgrading an 4.5 application I’m using the following code to change the layout in Validate station on Key Press

IStationAccess station = StationCreator.SingletonInstance;

station.Layout.CurrentLayoutName = “MyLayout”;

The layout changes but a second after the station crashes giving the following error:

The OnKey event is already mapped to all the fields in Design

Does anyone experience such error before?
