Does anything fire that I can use to display a notice when a locked control on a form is left clicked on?
If not, I suppose I could modify my use of ControlTipText on a control-by-control basis.
Yes, this question is a lot less wordy than my normal, but I am filling up a few words to try not to disgrace my reputation...
Thank-you!
I don't think you can trap click event when control is locked.
Typically I'd just use Enabled "False" instead of locking it.
This will gray out text on the button, so it's clear it is disabled. If needed, you can also change caption when button is disabled (via code).

how about make it look disabled - set the font color to gray - to fool the user that its disabled.
then on the click event, set two conditions, if the font color of the button is gray, do this. and if the font color of the button is black, then do the normal code.
don't worry, there's a lot of people that are far more confused than you
but if you liked what i suggested. Click for me the "Add Reputation" - that way, we'd be both happy.
Thank you, very much!
If I can not "trap" a clicked locked control I will definitely be considering these options.
Just as a note, I do also group in the term "Controls" items such as textboxes and listboxes, and I further have most colored differently when locked, but I was hoping for a little "Hey! Dummy! Click the ""Edit Mode"" button if you want to edit this setting" type message, as in the past, I have been the dummy...
