disable mouse

[DW1]

without using the trapmouse function is there a way to disable the mouse from user input?

[Bert]

why? Serious question here.

The script I wrote click a button that it finds dynamicaly through a UDF I wrote. Everything works fine as long as you do not move the mouse right after you click the button in the script GUI. I already have the speed set to 0 (instant) for the mouse click, but still, if you move the mouse fast enough it will fuck up.

I just want to disable user input to the mouse, do about a quarter second worth the stuff and then give control back.

Check out BlockInput in the help files. I think that will do what you want. Of course it also shuts out the keyboard. But it does not sound like that will be a big deal in this case.

thank you Wolffe

When you use blockinput(1), start it, do your mouseclick, then use blockinput(0). That way the user won't see much disruption, and you can make the app more stable. Did you look into doing a controlclick on the control you are working with? It may be a better approach to your issue.

I have used controlclick for most of the mousing that needs to be done, but this program that I use internaly at work is really weird and doesn't play nice with control commands

The BlockInput worked fine for what I needed though
