Hi all,

I am writing a program, now i want to make an application that disables the
use of the keyboard and mouse.
But i don't have a clue how to handle this

Please help me,

reply or e-mail me on

The question is why are you wanting to do this. Under most typical user
configurations you would not want to do this. To do so in these situations
would be a very bad UI design. There are cases, such as info kiosk,
point-of-sale, etc. where you need more control. In these conditions, it is
best to control the user via system configuration policies and/or hardware
methods(lockable or specialized keyboards, touch screens, etc.).

Marc,
  To disable the keyboard, I think you should be able to set the KeyPreview
property of your form(s) to True, which will cause the form to see any
keystrokes before any control does, and then in the form event Form_KeyPress
you can change the "keyascii" parameter to 0 which cancels the keystroke. I
don't know about the mouse.

I use a little ActiveX control called ActiveCursor.  There are other
ways but this works just fine and I think it's freeware (can't
remember if I had to register it or not).

I found it at www.activex.com.  If you can't find it let me know and I
will send you a copy.

This will only work for that application.  It will not work for the rest of
the system (if that application is not active.)  You may be able to have it
work fot the system by keeping the window active.
