This is very strange. Mouse clicks should never be buffered. If you click on a disabled control, no click event should ever happen.
Try disabling the form instead. In other Windows programming languages, my standard way of foiling the "clickers" is to disable the whole form, not just the clicked control. I only reenable the form when my click event code is done executing.

Most users like the fact that one click is all that is required. However, are always a few users that when they see a list, they think you should click the mouse at least two or three times (I call them Mouse Happy Users). This causes the EEP to execute twice (or more), sometimes producing undesirable results or error conditions. I have tried warning messages "Single Click Only!" but they ignore the warning and keep clicking away. Does anyone have a way to suppress the mouse after one click that doesn't require a lot of programming?
