Disable Keystrokes And Mouse

[blich]

Hello:

I am new to AutoIT v3, and I am very impressed. I was wondering if it is possible to disable the keyboard and mouse while a script is running? Currently, I have a script that customizing Windows, and I do not want someone to interrupt the script while it is running. Disabling the keyboard and mouse would take care of that.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance...

Uh, hmm.

Try looking at the Function Reference portion of the compiled html help file. You'll find the answer in there - in short Yes.

Good luck!

Ahhh, I didn't see the BlockInput function before. Thanks for forcing me to take another look. Since you cannot pass the ALT key when that is enabled, how do you workaround that? I would assume you could turn off the BlockInput send the ALT key and then turn it back on. Is there a better way?

Thanks again...
