Clean way to do that is to block edit operation using LVN_BEGINLABELEDIT
notification. So basically you should always return TRUE from it, except
for the case when edit is triggered with UI command, in this case you
can temporarily enable edit, and block it back when done. But I'm
curious, why do you want to do that in a first place, what's wrong with
the ability to click-rename items?
