"normal"
"waiting for point click"

You then need one or more variables to keep track of the 
state of your GUI. You should declare the variables in the
controller class of the GUI component. Usually the main panel.

When the menu item "point click" is selected you could 
disable all other commands. When you receive the
mouse click you can enable them. 

I would suggest a slightly different approach, though. Instead of
disabling all other commands, let the other commands
cancel the "point click" command. That is how most other apps
handle that kind of situation.
