Is it possible?

Thanks in advance,

it would help to know more details, but you might try:

if not _ispressed(the key you want to block) then 
    do stuff
endif

check the help file for a list of key values

Hello k3v,

I mean the windows key

5B Left Windows key

5C Right Windows key

(they're also in the help file)

not sure how to do what you want though

is_pressed gives me some error, unknown function.

is_pressed gives me some error, unknown function.

the function is _IsPressed()

but I'm not sure in this case it'll do what you want. there's probably a Windows configurable setting somewhere that will do that... if you can find it, you can likely modify that setting with AutoIt... google a reg setting for disabling the windows key. (come to think of it, I'd like to know, so I'll google it too)

I need to block this key temporarely so I don't want to edit the registry files.

Thanks for your time anyway.

If you set a keyboard hook and a callback function... return -1 in the callback when you get a "Windows Key" code. Depending on the callback implementation... it may work.... who knows until you try it.

Hi Larry, could you please explain?

For example (does not work):

HotKeySet("{5B}", "nothing")

func nothing()

Endfunc

No... it is quite a bit harrier. You will need to research the forum for +keyboard +hook and look for a WH_KEYBOARD_LL hook example ... download it and play with it, then change the logic in the callback function to return -1 when the keycode of the "Windows Key" arrives.

_ispressed needs #include <misc.au3>

try to send an esc if win key pressed.

also here i have a little proggy made in vc

it blocks a few keys, like win key alt+f4 alt+tab as i remember.

just run it with script
