If that is the case, is there anyway I can get rid of the penDownEvent
before I enable the cntrol again? Or any suggestion what I should do?
(Sorry, I am new to Palm programming).
Thanks alot.

Is there an event loop active during Myfunction()? If not, then your
penDownEvent isn't being handled until after you return from MyFunction and
call CtlSetEnabled(), so when the event loop is entered, your control is
enabled again.
