Blocking User input until password is entered

13 New Member
Hey i know its possible to block the users input from the keyboard and mouse, and to unblock but i was wondering how to check for users input and to compare it against a password (validate it) while the user's input is blocked.

Thx in advanced

Hey sorry if last post was unclear, the windows lock (windows key + L) i basically wanna replicate this. I know how to lock all input from Keyboard and mouse but what i don't know is how to say type a password and get the vb application to recognize this while everything is still locked.

that link should help you out. basically the form is going to need to work alot like a complicated message box with the modal option. modal forces the user to deal with the object before they can do anything else. now as far as the password section, add a text box so they can input information and then check it with whatever the password is suppose to be. therefore you just created a modal login screen

I tried using the modal thing when displaying a form like this

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. dialog.show vbmodal, me
  2.  
but it doesn't force you to deal with this form before you can get rid of it.

thx in advanced

Long story as short as possible: I have a page (aspx) that contains a user control (ascx). In the form the user can enter a username and password. If they do, the password box auto-posts-back and checks to see if the user already exists in the database. If yes, the rest of the form fields on the page are populated with that existing user's data.

Hi Does someone knows if fopen() is a non-blocking function in a sense that if there isn't sufficient disk space to open a file in write mode, then the function will not wait but fail? I find it difficult to believe that anyone who use this function wants the program to wait until disk space is enlarged
