Ok Here's A Challenge

[Batch]

I want to keep a user from being able to press a button. I realize this is not foolproof, but for the example pull up the runbox, run the script, OK the msgbox, and move your mouse x position to 174 and it moves your mouse away from the button. I'm guess you would need an IF statement where the coordinates were an array of the x and y coordinates that the button fills. How can I script it so that if you get your mouse close to the button it gets moved away?

AutoItSetOption( "MouseCoordMode", 0 )

dim $pos
$pos = ControlGetPos("Run", "", "Button3")

msgbox( 1, "Run box", $pos[0] &", " &$pos[1] &", " &$pos[2] &", " &$pos[3])

While 1
Sleep( "1" )
$mousepos = MouseGetPos()
    SplashTextOn( "Da Mouse is", "Here da mouse X=" & $mousepos[0] & " Y=" & $mousepos[1] )
    If $mousepos[0] = 174 Then
  MouseMove( 500, 500 )
    Endif
Wend

WinWaitClose( "Run" )

Do you mean move the button???

Heres a variation of Larry's fun.au3 script..

It starts Run and then just try to click any of the 3 buttons

Maybe that helps you ?

Send("#r")
If Not WinWait("Run","",10) Then Exit
$bp2=ControlGetPos( "Run","","Button2" ) 
$bp3=ControlGetPos( "Run","","Button3" ) 
$bp4=ControlGetPos( "Run","","Button4" ) 
AutoItSetOption ( "MouseCoordMode", 0 ) 
While WinExists("Run")
    $mp = MouseGetPos()
    $mp[1] = $mp[1] - 30; correction for the window border
    select
      case $mp[0] > $bp2[0] and $mp[0] < $bp2[0]+$bp2[2] and $mp[1] > $bp2[1] and $mp[1] < $bp2[1]+$bp2[3]
         ControlMove ( "Run","","Button2",$bp2[0]-$bp2[2]-5,$bp2[1]) 
         ControlMove ( "Run","","Button3",$bp3[0],$bp3[1]) 
         ControlMove ( "Run","","Button4",$bp4[0],$bp4[1]) 
      case $mp[0] > $bp3[0] and $mp[0] < $bp3[0]+$bp3[2] and $mp[1] > $bp3[1] and $mp[1] < $bp3[1]+$bp3[3] 
         ControlMove ( "Run","","Button2",$bp2[0]-$bp2[2]-5,$bp2[1]) 
         ControlMove ( "Run","","Button4",$bp4[0],$bp4[1]) 
         ControlMove ( "Run","","Button3",$bp3[0]-$bp3[2]-5,$bp3[1]) 
      Case $mp[0] > $bp4[0] and $mp[0] < $bp4[0]+$bp4[2] and $mp[1] > $bp4[1] and $mp[1] < $bp4[1]+$bp4[3]
         ControlMove ( "Run","","Button2",$bp2[0]-$bp2[2]-5,$bp2[1]) 
         ControlMove ( "Run","","Button3",$bp3[0]-$bp3[2]-5,$bp3[1]) 
         ControlMove ( "Run","","Button4",$bp4[0]-$bp4[2]-5,$bp4[1]) 
      Case Else
         ControlMove ( "Run","","Button4",$bp4[0],$bp4[1]) 
         ControlMove ( "Run","","Button3",$bp3[0],$bp3[1]) 
         ControlMove ( "Run","","Button2",$bp2[0],$bp2[1]) 
    EndSelect 
    Sleep(50)

Yeap.. the version i posted works on WinXP....

[Somerset]

hey why don't you add this to it JdeB, add a hotkey take over of the tab that says nope no tab keys allowed, and also resize the buttons really tiny so nobody can see them.

[Somerset]

JdeB and Larry, this is quite funny, but if you execute both of your scrips one right after another. JdeB trys to move the cancel button left and right and Larry moves it every which direction. if you go after the cancel button from either underneathe it or above it the cancel button wiggs out, had a really bad case of nerves. lol try and see what i mean.

[Somerset]

was jsut goofing around with your idea larry. you bad. i also threw in moving the combobox, buttons and static controls to move... kaos

[Batch]

Wow, that works, and I'm impressed, I just can't understand it If I read the help file again and pondered on this for some time I believe I would. Dang you guys are smart!
