Hotkey to release a blockinput

[31290]

Hi Everyone, 

I'm trying to find a way to assign a hotkey to stop a blockinput function, just in case anything goes wrong in my script.

I took a look here :

'?do=embed' frameborder='0' data-embedContent>>

I also did some tests but this UDF "only" allows me to exclude some keys whereas I need a simple hotkey, F1 for example, that will release the blockinput.

Maybe someone can give me a hand over here

Thanks in advance,

31290.

You do realize why it is a bad idea to want user input to to stop a function that blocks user input right?

If you are using BlockInput for any length of time where something might go wrong, you are probably using it foolishly to begin with too.

Yes I realized that but this is a requirement from my bosses.

If anything goes wrong during the script execution, there's no way the users will have to reboot the computer to unlock mouse & keyboard.

That's why I have to find a way to create a rescue key.

well Ctrl-alt-del override blockinput in autoit anyway, or m'i wrong?

Two way :

Hotckeyset ("{F10}","BlockinputOff")  

Func BlockinputOff ()

        BlockInput = 0

EndFunc

Or CTRL + ALT + SUPR

If you need a manual blockinput emergency shutoff both way are OK

CTRL-ALT-DEL override blockinput as you said but as soon as I return to Windows or open Task Manager, the blockinput is back and you can't do anything.

Thanks, I'm gonna try and let you know

It does not work. how could it?

#RequireAdmin

HotKeySet("{F10}", "_Func")

BlockInput(1)

$timer = TimerInit()

While TimerDiff($timer) < 10000
    Sleep(10)
WEnd

Func _Func()
    BlockInput(0)
EndFunc
