yes it brings up the TDC dials ... i know that...

but what button are these guys talking about to "LOCK" the TDC from making any changes??? i have never heard of any such device.

my problem is that mid attack my TDC would no longer respond to any inputs as if that part of the game was frozen... i could click the little bolt looking button to bring up the TDC just fine but none of the TDC dials would move or rotate at all.
This button you've just been pointed to is the very "TDC lock" button. You have it also in the stock SH# version, as well as in any GWX modded version, but it is there placed somewhere else - on the TDC screen just right of the torpedo depth setting gauge. Without OLC GUI this button is used only to lock/unlock the TDC. In the OLC GUI it has a new, ADDITIONAL function of showing/hiding the TDC in attack periscope/UZO view (but it still locks/unlocks them too).

In OLC GUI, if you see the TDC dials, they are unlocked. If you don't see them, they are locked. I don't suppose there is any third state they could be in.
