Problem with mouse control in scripts

[Kaine]

Hi:

I wrote a script that automates certain office tasks. 2 windows are present on the desktop at the same time and the script is only intended for window no. 2. The macro commands sometimes would go to the wrong window because the user accidentally clicks the wrong window in the middle of the scripting. Is there a way to disable mouse function/cursor temporarily (from within the script itself) till the script finishes its tasks. Thanks very much for any help.

BlockInput(1) ; blocks mouse and keyboard
BlockInput(0) ; un-blocks

You could also try to use the Control-functions (ControlSend/ControlSetText etc)

to communicate with the controls directly, meaning that the window you want to

work with doesn't have to be active, compared to Send which requires focus.
