midiboy Posted August 3, 2004 Share Posted August 3, 2004 Hi guys !Maybe someone has an idea since I am an absolute newbie with scripts ... I would like to make sure that a user cannot interfere while a script is running and installing an application. So I would like to temporarily block keyboard and mouse until the script is finished. If the script is finished it should of course restore mouse and keyboard use again Would this be very hard to achieve ?Thanks for any ideas ...Bye,Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big_gie Posted August 3, 2004 Share Posted August 3, 2004 Their is a tool I think somewhere that can achieve this... can't remember though.Seach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbouchard Posted August 3, 2004 Share Posted August 3, 2004 Check out AutoIT www.hiddensoft.com, if I am not mistaken, it has the ability of blocking keyboard and mouse input but can cause a problem if the script fails. Would need to take that into consideration.Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
midiboy Posted August 4, 2004 Author Share Posted August 4, 2004 Hey Guys,thanks for your help ! I will check out the software although I would prefer if this could be achieved via vbs or js .... not yet another program Thanks,Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkPhoenix Posted August 4, 2004 Share Posted August 4, 2004 You can use AutoIt to compile exe files with the script in them, so that you don't need to actually install the program to use the scripts.. only to make them. And AutoIt can do a lot more stuff than vbs and js can in the first place.. so it's really worth it, trust me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
midiboy Posted August 5, 2004 Author Share Posted August 5, 2004 Ok,you convinced me to give AutoIT a try, Dark Phoenix Better be easy to learn ... Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkPhoenix Posted August 5, 2004 Share Posted August 5, 2004 Better be easy to learn ... If you know VBScript.. the AutoIT Script language will look surprisingly familiar to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mazin Posted August 5, 2004 Share Posted August 5, 2004 I have a script for this on my PC but I don't remember where I kept it! I'll search it on my PC and post it for you, if no one else proceeds me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
