keyboard & mouse

[romy]

Well, when I open my application I want to deactivate all input from mouse or keyboard. I mean that, if the user presses anything while my application runs, it should be disregarded.

Basically I want to run an application, that opens Paint (mspaint.exe) and draws something in it. It should not listen to the user commands, else the drawing will be a mess.

There is something else : Usually, these drawings take some time..if the user inputs anything, he should be able to pause or stop this application. How can I test whether the mouse has been moved, or any of the keys has been pressed
