This sounds a lot like a validation task. If you check the control value in a when-validate-record trigger, and if set, raise Form-Trigger-Failure, the user will not be able to leave the current record. But then you will need to un-set the control value before the user can commit.
If you don't like the above method, you can use a when-new-record-instance trigger to check the control value, and if set, go back to the original record. Like your control value, you will need to store the number of the record to go back to.
