I tested the following:
Variable form with two panels, a variable edit and two buttons, one a push
button and one a speed button.
the variable edit and the pushbutton are on panel 1 and the speed button is
on panel two.
The pushbutton has code:
--trace
SET VAR vi INTEGER = 0
--PROPERTY RBASE_FORM enabled 'false'
PROPERTY pnlone enabled 'false'
PROPERTY pnltwo enabled 'false'
RECALC VARIABLES
IF vcount > 0 THEN
WHILE vi <> .vcount THEN
OUTPUT SCREEN
WRITE 'x'
OUTPUT SCREEN
SET VAR vi = (.vi + 1)
ENDWHILE
PAUSE 2 USING 'done'
ENDIF
--PROPERTY RBASE_FORM enabled 'true'
PROPERTY pnlone enabled 'true'
PROPERTY pnltwo enabled 'true'
SET VAR vcount = 0
RECALC VARIABLES
RETURN
The variable edit has the value of the loop iteration so I can set the
length time of the loop to longer amounts. While the loop is running, I
clicked in each separate test increasing number of clicks from one to four
and no mouse clicks were Queued while the panels were disabled.
I am unable to replicate your conditions you describe (using this test).

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?
Regards
Lena

Dennis,
That won't work at the form level, but if you put a panel on the form and
put all your controls on the panel, the panel can be enabled and disabled to
effect everything in the container.

If you are disabling the form in a while loop, try running the loop with
WHILEOPT set to OFF.

RBASE 7.6
On the click of a button:
1. disable the form
2. run a lengthy process (refresh a listview)
3. enable the form
We click the button and then click anywhere on the form.
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?
