Shell "rundll32 keyboard,disable"

but you have to reboot in order to enable the keyboard
you can't use enable in this command

Dim flag_ed As Boolean
Private Sub Command1_Click()
flag_ed = Not flag_ed
If flag_ed Then
Command1.Caption = "Disable KeyBoard"

I don't know how to disabnle a mouse, but an alternative way is to hide the pointer


Declare Function ShowCursor& Lib "user32" _
(ByVal bShow As Long)
'Add this code to Command1.


Private Sub Command1_Click()
ShowCursor (bShow = True)
End Sub


Private Sub Command2_Click()
ShowCursor (bShow = False)
End Sub
