You could try unwiring the delegate when you don't want it to fire.

object.event -= new eventhandler(method)

Or maybe setting a flag on the form and cheking it inside each handler

object_event(object,eventargs)
{
if (this.fireevent)
{
//eventhandler code here
}
}

I know Kevin McNeish had something in his documentation that said some form events never fired when they were supposed to and other events fired when they were not supposed to. He fixed those in his base classes.
