Re: Inhibit mouse Events possible?

Mark: What about a transparent graphic with: on mouseDown checkoption end mouseDown on mouseUp checkoption end mouseUp —Other mouse events could be added on checkoption if the option key is down then hide me end if end check option Best, Bill On

Re: Inhibit mouse Events possible?

Another option is to use a frontscript to intercept mouseup (or down) messages before they arrive at the controls on the card. A frontscript is foolproof and will handle all controls, but you need to plan this carefully because, as Mark mentioned, you don't want to leave the stack unable to fun

Inhibit mouse Events possible?

Folks: Is it possible to inhibit mouse events? Some of the operations that are initiated by a mouse click require a bit of time and I don’t want the user to be able to click around until each operation is finished. One approach would be to put a transparent rectangle over the stack and not pass
