Hi I'm Lena and I work with Dennis M.... Actually I have a Tab Control and 3 panels on the first tab control. First panel has Variable RadioGroup(s) and Variable Lookup ComboBox Second panel has some Bit Buttons and variable edit controls Third panel has variable lookup up ListView - which is what I am populating, and while that populates I want to disable the other stuff.
I set panels 1 and 2 as Property compId Enabled 'FALSE' I can see the controls on these panels are disabled (goes gray) While the ListView is processing, I click on the grayed out controls. After listview process is done, I enable the panels and all grayed out click events gets processed. I thought when controls are disabled, the mouse events on the controls are ignored, not buffered and completed once controls are enabled. Confused.... Any insight?

Because the form is disabled, nothing on the form should respond. When the process finishes, and the form is enabled, it responds to the bogus clicks. It is obvious from the appearance of the form that it is not getting disabled. If I trace the code, the form disables/enables correctly Anyone know how to fix this? Dennis McGrath
