hi,

you can't lock a window with it only hiding it.

[flip209]

winsetstate(Title,Text,@SW_DISABLE)

Try that

it does not lock the window in the screen it locks it from tuching it.

If the gui is owned by autoit, you can do this to lock it in place:

#include <WinAPI.au3>
#include <GUIConstants.au3>

$Form1 = GUICreate("Form1", 633, 447, 193, 125)

Dim $origWindowPos = WinGetPos($Form1)

GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

GUIRegisterMsg($WM_WINDOWPOSCHANGING, "_WM_WINDOWPOSCHANGING")

While 1
    Switch GUIGetMsg()
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
    EndSwitch
WEnd

Func _WM_WINDOWPOSCHANGING($hWndGUI, $MsgID, $WParam, $LParam)
    
    Local $wPosStruct = DllStructCreate("hwnd hwnd;hwnd InsertAfter;int x;int y;int cx;int cy;uint flags", $LParam)
    
    DllStructSetData($wPosStruct, "x", $origWindowPos[0])
    DllStructSetData($wPosStruct, "y", $origWindowPos[1])
    DllStructSetData($wPosStruct, "cx", $origWindowPos[2])
    DllStructSetData($wPosStruct, "cy", $origWindowPos[3])
    
EndFunc
