Hi Bill,
One way to do this:
local lBusy,lSecs
on mouseUp
if lBusy is true then
beep
exit mouseUp
else if lBusy is not true then
put true into lBusy
put the seconds into lSecs
repeat forever with messages
// some long task here
if the seconds - lSecs > 5 then exit repeat
wait 0 millisecs with messages
end repeat
put false into lBusy
end if
end mouseUp
This script doesn't allow running the script again, as long as it hasn't
finished. If you have multiple controls that should not be used while
the script runs, you can disable the other controls or use a global
variable and check the global variable in the other scripts.

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 events, but I wonder
if there is a more direct way.
Thanks,
Bill
