Stopping several buttons from being pressed

[TimC]

Holding down each button in my interface triggers an IBAction event which loops until the button is released.

I don't want other buttons to be able to be pressed while a button is being held down.

So how do I block interface interaction until a button is released?

Just do something like this on the other buttons:

myButton.enabled = NO;

or could have a variable BOOL buttonPressed
set it to yes when a button is pressed and before all the buttons are used have
if (!buttonPressed)

and when you have finished with the button just set it to no;

Wouldn't that kill his loop though? Because that would apply to every button he has...so his loop wouldn't...loop. At the beginning it would be okay, maybe for the first iteration, but the second one would never happen.
