If the appearance of disabled fields is not a problem for you, you could also group the fields and disable the group when a user should not be able to edit, or enable the group when they can:

set the enabled of group "Field Set" to <true if this user may edit>

or

if <this user may edit> then enable group "Field Set"
else disable group "Field Set"

I want to be able to "lock up" a stack such that the user cannot select text in fields, but all the buttons run.. then, when he clicks "edit" the application drops a "in use" semaphore file on the server so that others can read the stack from the server but not make changes... and the user with edit privileges can now edit text and when he saves, the changes are saved to a temp stack on disk and the app FTP's the changed stack back to the server and delete the semaphore file.

How about a large transparent button that covers all the fields. Your actual buttons could be on top of this transparent button so they are clickable, but by toggling the visibility of the big transparent button, you could toggle the ability to type or select any field data.

Cheers,
