Event Sequence

Is there a way to prevent click events from initiating while a previous event is being processed?

ie.
I have a form with many command buttons, and when I click one of them, I want to ignore any other click on other objects until the routine from the first click terminates.

It happens that I have a comm port trans, and the user clicks on objects while the system is handling an interrupt routine. I would like to be able to ignore new events, and perhaps inform the user that the system is busy.

Please, any info?

Add DoEvents as the first line in each click statement....

Thanks for the info,

I will use DoEvent an other part of my program, but I don't think I explained my situation accurately.

Sometimes when you have many buttons on a form and you press a bunch of them in sequence, you want to IGNORE the ones that were pressed. This prevents unintentional clicks when the system is busy.

Hope you can help,

You could always disable the other buttons until the one running is completed.

i.e.

Private Sub Command1_Click()

    Command2.Enabled = False
    Command3.Enabled = False

    '.......CODE HERE..........

    Command2.Enabled = True
    Command3.Enabled = True

End Sub

Private Sub Command2_Click()

    Command1.Enabled = False
    Command3.Enabled = False

    '.......CODE HERE..........

    Command1.Enabled = True
    Command3.Enabled = True

End Sub

'ETC

a quick fix might be

"form1.enabled = false"

why don't you try declaring a global Boolean}
Variable and when you start the sub set it to False
an d in the first line of the other subs
put somthing like this

'Global Variable Control
Dim DoClik as Boolean

If DoClik = False then Exit Sub

'The rest of your Code...

I Forgot when you Finish your Process
Set the Variable to True!!
