[RESOLVED] How to Inhibit Mouse Click Action?

[camoore]

I fear that there will be a VERY simple answer to this question, but have not managed to find it on this or many other sites.

My program calls up some quite lenghy sub routines, which take several minutes to complete. In the meantime an impatient user could be clicking on things in the form and cause the program subsequently to malfunction.

The need is for a statement which, at the start of a routine, inhibits any effect of the mouse and a corresponding statement at the end of the routine which re-enables the mouse. It would not matter if mouse movement were still possible, so long as mouse clicks are ignored.

Bet the answer to this is absolutely fundamental, but I have failed to find it, and so request your patient assistance.
