Very true. Program hardening is not avoided in any
development.

I don't do much View programming now, but when I do it
would be great to see examples or a How-to. ^_^

Sounds complex...
Thinking further about Anton's (Gabriele's) trick:
Maybe the following could work:
- Set button text to gray
- Set feel to none at beginning of action block
- Process actions
- Reset feel to accept button clicks
- Reset button text to original color
Maybe this would not stop events from building in
queue though.
