    What do you mean by "lock keyboard" - like Ctrl-Alt-Del -> L, or something else? What OS?

    In an application, it would usually be pretty easy to just ignore the input from the keyboard. If you are talking about a system-wide lock of the keyboard, then:
    1. It's much harder to achieve.
    2. It would be a bad thing to do.
    3. I don't know how you do that (and I don't really want to find out either - it serves no purpose).
