dar100111 Posted April 7, 2014 Posted April 7, 2014 Hey All, I have a script accessing a screen on an internal program and all be it not often I've ran into issues where a user drags a screen around that it's accessing and causes some undesired affects when accessing the controls on it. I'm sure there's a command but trying to figure out how to lock a window until my script finishes and unlock it again to prevent the user from dragging it for a few seconds. Thanks!
BrewManNH Posted April 7, 2014 Posted April 7, 2014 You could try using WinSetState and @SW_DISABLE on the window. If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise. Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.Give a programmer the correct code and he can do his work for a day.

dar100111 Posted April 7, 2014 Author Posted April 7, 2014 Thanks BrewMan. Looks like doing it had some undesired affects of the screen I'm locking but I think I know what's going on. I might have to set and enable at several points while the screen navigates. I think this will work though!
