A simple solution could be to place the event operations in a case structure, as in the attached example.

Another approach would be to set the Disabled property of the control in question.
0 means enabled, 1 means disabled and 2 means diasbled & grayed out.

Usually 0 and 2 are the most used since it is a good idea to give the user some feedback that a control is not currently operable.

Sorry rolfk, but the Disabled property doesn't affect the response to events (at least on my Mac...). The mouse down event is generated even with a grayed button. And this looks normal to me 😉

Hi Ali,

      Not to beat this to death, but in fact you can enable/disable events programmatically.

Cheers.

If you use mouse events then yes you are right. But usually it is about the Commit or Value Changed event and here Enable/Disable works perfect.
