Block Input
Dec 17, 2009 at 3:27am
When I want to block input from the user I usually use:
It blocks input from the mouse AND the keyboard. Is there a way to block input only from the keyboard and leave the mouse free to move?

how does BlockInput work? i mean what header does it use? is it windows command? ncurses? you should be able to look it up and find references to the answers you seek.

BlockInput uses a C header.
whats ncurses?
you register this command true or false and it blocks all keyboard and mouse input. There is a way around it though. haha after it activates you can press control alt delete and open task manager and it will allow mouse input.
#include <winable.h> whats ncurses?

ncurses is a wonderful UNIX library (PDCurses on windows) for terminal-emulator (e.g. xterm) I/O.
And that's not a standard C header. A standard C header is stdlib.h, or stdio.h. What you've got there is a windows header.
