Dear friends,
I have a command button that when clicked, runs tens of queries, millions of calculations, etc.
This process takes about 10 seconds each time, and the mouse pointer rapidly changes into hourglass and changes back to pointer during this process.
If the user opens other forms or does other things while the main calculations are not finished yet, the results would be disaster. So I want to disarm the user by disabling mouse and keyboard before starting calculations, and re-enable them after finishing the calculations.
Possible??????? ????????

BTW, what Degree of dodginess am I (1, 2, or 3)? dodg·y (dj)
adj. dodg·i·er, dodg·i·est Chiefly British - Evasive; shifty.
- Unsound, unstable, and unreliable.
- So risky as to require very deft handling

Not you ADezii.
The potential is for the information you make available to be misused.
Obviously, you're well dodgy, but that's not the point :D
Thank you all, specially ADezii
Thank you so much.

You are quite welcome. Be careful in the use of this code, and ' always' provide a mechanism for enabling Keyboard/Mouse Input once again should an Error occur midstream. Good Luck, and let us know how it all works out.

That's always good advice ADezii, but from Fish's link it will recover itself on any unhandled crash and a Ctrl-Alt_Del always gives any operator the power to cancel this effect. This even reduces the dodginess factor :D

Does that mean that the code has been Dedoged? (LOL)

Entirely? No. Predominantly though? Yes.
PS. Just because you see there are so many 'D's in the word is no excuse to leave one out. Is four 'D's too much for a single word? Probably yes.
Still should be De-dodged :D

Greetings,
I have a very simple question. How do you simulate a user input to
turn off a screen saver in Windows (either a mouse movement, mouse
click, or keyboard input)? I promise I searched the newsgroup before
asking :)
I have written the following program that loads all my Webshots files
into the Webshots photo manager, or so I thought. When you load the
first it starts the screen saver. All other subsequent ones are not

Hello,
I have done a little aplication that does a remote connection to other machine
and opens a vncclient to connect to the VNC in other machine (it's just for a
network monitorization).
Now I need that I can enable/disable the input of the keyboard/mouse both
windows and Linux, any good idea about how to block the keyboard/mouse in
python? any ioctl and win dll to do it?

Does anyone know how to disable the mouse on a specific form? So users are

Thanks already for answering.

I want to do something similar to what some macro tools do, where they
perform mouse/keyboard events on the user's machine , while intercepting the
user's current keyboard/mouse events so that it does not interfere (unless
they press a certain hotkey to deactivate it). How would I go about doing
this?
