Restricting inputs

[ajbharani]

Hello friends,

I am trying to automate a windows application. During the execution, the user is not supposed to lose the focus of the window. So I am trying to restrict the keyboard and mouse inputs for a certain period. How can I achieve this?

What do you exactly mean by "the user is not supposed to lose the focus of the window" ?
Do you want that window to stay on top? and yet you intend to use already opened form ?

well i dont understand your exact requirment.. but you can just try doing something like this...

1. frmWindow.Show(this);
2. frmWindow.ShowDialog(this);

I think this should work...

Hi

I'm actually controlling an application through my program. The application which I control must stay on top and the user should not interrupt the action which is currently going on in the application.
