TheFuzzy0ne Posted February 8, 2019 Posted February 8, 2019 Hi, everyone. I'm aware of the `BlockInput()` function, but is there any way to block only mouse input only? I have a tendency to hold onto the mouse whilst a macro does it's thing (especially if it only takes a few seconds) and sometimes it interferes with the task being conducted. Sometimes, actually letting go of the mouse is also enough to nudge it and interfere with the task being carried out. So I'd like to totally block mouse input, but still allow use of the keyboard to either pause the script or terminate it. Can this be done? Many thanks in advance.
BrewManNH Posted February 8, 2019 Posted February 8, 2019 Better idea, don't use Send and MouseClick to run automation tasks. This way you won't have to worry about what you're doing with the mouse or keyboard while the script does its thing. 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.

If other suggestions dont work for you, could always move the mouse and check the mouse position. While position is not the same as you expect, keep moving mouse.
