Block Keyboard & Mouse

[kennetha]

Hi all,

Is there a means to block all input from the keyboard/ mouse like you can block the screen updating with Docmd.echo..?

Thanks in advance
Kenneth.

I suppose you could open a small modal form.

One note I would make...if you decide to go down the path of blocking ALL input, make sure you have some escape method and some serious error checking. You need some way to get out of the "locked" state, and since keyboard and mouse cannot not provide input it will be up to you to figure a way. Also, if your application bombs out, make sure you have some way to recover, sinc the keyboard and mouse may be disabled in your application.
