Disable a subform while editing data in another subform - vba

Question

I have two subforms, the first is a list and the second is a detail record of the record selected in the first subform.
When I select the edit button in the detail subform I want to lock out the list form.
I tried: forms!master!subformList.enabled=false.
Note:
_D is the detailed subform.
_L is the list subform.
cmb_Edit is the edit/save button located on detail subform.
Private Sub EnableFutureForm(EF)
Select Case EF
Case 1 'SubForm Detail is Locked Down
FuturePaint (False)
Forms!FrmFutureWork!FrmFutureWork_D!cmb_Edit.Caption = "Edit"
Forms!FrmFutureWork!FrmFutureWork_L.Form.Enabled = True
Case 2 'SubForm Detail is Opened up
FuturePaint (True)
Forms!FrmFutureWork!FrmFutureWork_D!cmb_Edit.Caption = "Save"
Forms!FrmFutureWork!FrmFutureWork_L.Form.Enabled = False
Forms!FrmFutureWork!FrmFutureWork_D!cmb_TRMM.SetFocus
End Select
End Sub
I want the list subform to not respond to any click, while the Form_Click continues to work.

You can disable events by setting the forms property.
ForForm_Clickit is Form.OnClick property.
'disable event
Forms!FrmFutureWork!FrmFutureWork_L.Form.OnClick = vbNullString
'enable event
Forms!FrmFutureWork!FrmFutureWork_L.Form.OnClick = "[Event Procedure]"
Or you can add a check to the events-code:
Private Sub Form_Click()
If Forms!FrmFutureWork!FrmFutureWork_L.Enabled then
' Actions on subform-control (not the form!) enabled
Else
' Action on subform-control disabled
End IF
End Sub
