Nine 1,232 Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 (edited) This function can be use to block all inputs coming from mouse and keyboard, without having an UAC warning displayed. Version 2021-02-06 * Allows blocking either Mouse or Keyboard independently * Removed @error if already disable / enable * Checks for rightful parameters Basic Example : #include "BlockInputEX.au3" Opt("MustDeclareVars", 1) _BlockInput($BI_DISABLE) ; block input ConsoleWrite("Block all inputs" & @LF) _BlockInput($BI_DISABLE) ; useless since already disable Sleep(10000) _BlockInput($BI_ENABLE) ; enable input ConsoleWrite("Enable all inputs" & @LF) _BlockInput($BI_ENABLE) ; useless set since already enable Sleep(5000) _BlockInput($BI_DISABLE, $BI_MOUSE) ; block input mouse only ConsoleWrite("Block mouse only" & @LF) Sleep(10000) _BlockInput($BI_DISABLE, $BI_KEYBOARD); block input keyboard also ConsoleWrite("Block keyboard" & @LF) Sleep(10000) _BlockInput($BI_ENABLE, Default) ; enable all input ConsoleWrite("Reenable all inputs" & @LF) How to release a Block Example : #include <Constants.au3> #include <Misc.au3> #include "BlockInputEX.au3" Opt("MustDeclareVars", 1) _BlockInput($BI_DISABLE) Local $hTimer = TimerInit() While TimerDiff($hTimer) < 15000 If _IsPressed("10") And _IsPressed("11") And _IsPressed("12") Then ; pressing Ctrl-Shift-Alt release the block immediately Exit _BlockInput($BI_ENABLE) EndIf WEnd _BlockInput($BI_ENABLE) BlockInputEX.au3 Edited May 19 by Nine mLipok, Norm73 and Professor_Bernd 3 Not much of a signature but working on it...

BigDaddyO 66 Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 (edited) Great work on this Nine! Just because I'm super lazy and I just needed this to resolve a ControlSend issue, I created this from your code.

Norm73 7 Posted May 31 Share Posted May 31 Hello everyone, everything works as it says above. Is it possible that it will work that way?User input is blocked and AutoIt can simulate mouse and keyboard. Link to post Share on other sites
Nine 1,232 Posted May 31 Author Share Posted May 31 Yes you can by using ControlClick and ControlSend. MouseClick and Send will not work. Not much of a signature but working on it...

Norm73 7 Posted May 31 Share Posted May 31 (edited) Too bad ☹️ The standard BlockInput function also works for me. But the function needs #RequireAdmin and that is exactly what causes me little problems. Edited May 31 by Norm73 Link to post Share on other sites

JockoDundee 404 Posted June 1 Share Posted June 1 (edited) 28 minutes ago, Norm73 said: As soon as I use #RequireAdmin, I no longer have access to the external drive. Nine’s solution _BlockInput(), unlike the standard BlockInput(), does not require #RequireAdmin. However, during the block, Send() and MouseDown() do not work. Instead, you need to use ControlSend() and ControlClick(). These functions take at least a window handle as a parameter, and direct the keystroke/click to that window. I haven’t had a problem using and them, even with third party windows, and they’re far more predictable, especially when you are worried about simultaneous user interaction, which I’m guessing you are. Why don’t you try it out and if it doesn’t work correctly, post the code. Edited June 1 by JockoDundee Norm73 1 Code hard, but don’t hard code... Link to post Share on other sites
Norm73 7 Posted June 1 Share Posted June 1 Hello JockoDundee I know that it is all best to do this via ControlSend. Suffer my program where I do the emulation is not that simple and the handles are constantly changing. I have taken note of this and am trying to do all of this via ControlSend. Thank you very much!
