If the group is enabled, then yes, a handler in the group for the
message that would have been sent to the disabled control (i.e. mouseUp)
will execute.
Example: A mouseUp message is sent to the top most control. If that is
enabled and has a mouseUp handler, that is executed. If that control is
disabled or has no mouseUp handler, the message continues down the
message path to the next object (a parent group or the card or the stack
or the engine).
Richard Gaskin made an excellent map of LiveCode's message hierarchy. I
can't find my link to it at the moment, but perhaps if he sees this he
can report it.
