You can "Hotkeyset" all of your keys to a blank Functon.

Then Bind them to nothing to re-enable them.

Like this

HotKeySet("a","Lame_Func")

While 1
Sleep(100)
WEnd

Func Lame_Func()
ToolTip("Your 'A' Key Won't Type")
EndFunc

Thanks paulie, but it dosnt meet what i want.

I want to disable all the keyboard if a region change and unlock the keyboard again if the region back as it was (by checking the PixelChecksum every 1 sec for example).

Any idea plz?

Did you try Paulie's suggestion? I don't see why it wouldn't apply.

You can make it do more than one function at a time you know.

have you even TRIED?

[James]

me? I know I tried because I can use functions etc.

Perhaps it will help you (www.dx21.com), search for disable keyboard...

i tried the code in the 1st comment but it is long to disable all the keys using the hotkeyset method and i want to unlock the keys again if the region back again as it was.

give a try to this (im not pretty sure that if it will work on XP, it will disable the mouse, keyboard and display...). Hope you have luck

Wait couldnt this be used maliciously?

What code did you try? The first 64 keys are set/blocked in less than 4 milliseconds and the rest in less than 2 milliseconds... and that was on my weak laptop. I'm sure that a gaming system would do better.

BlockKeyboardInput1.au3

BlockKeyboardInput2.au3

So, read up on STDIO and have your main script toggle the other two as desired.

@Secure_ICT,

Yes, but BlockInput() about the same. This code keeps the mouse alive.

Yes, but sometimes you need to prevent some unexperienced user to - as a way to pave the way to make your script work - send some keystrokes that will crash your script... And it will be perfectly legal in your actions if you disable the keyboard while you walk through the critical part of your script (ideally notifying the user before doing so)

And sometimes the method showed here (relatively to minimize and send) will not work, perhaps is a legacy (Win 3.x/95, in my case) software, and it is the only way to make it workt

The answer to that could be: That's upon your ethics... I'm trying not to be so paranoid. He/She is asking "How i can disable the keyboard only?", and he clearly states:

"Please i want to find a way to disable the keyboard only if something has changed in a region then unlock the keyboard again if the region become as it was.

Thanks all

So, for me there is no harm to show someone where the information is. It's upon his'/her's ethics.

So long,

...it is the only way to make it work...

...but in that same thread that we referenced, SmOke_N states:

Something put together with care, should easy enough be able to accomplish any task without fear of user interactions IMHO.

So the challenge has been made; you come up with the scenario and SmOke_N will humbly write the code. :-) :-) :-)

...or at least humbly offer an opinion :-)
