This may sounds obvious, but...

keep a pointer to all of your views in the dialog box, and disable them one at a
time...

Along those lines, I've found that some views just cant be disable whilst in a
dialog box constructor...I've had to do a disable check+do at the start of
Tdialog.HandleEvent. I'd hope there
was a more efficient place to do this...Anyone found a better place?
