BlockInput(true) help

Hi guys,

Im having trouble working the BlockInput(); command.

Here is my code:

Code:

---


#include <windows.h>
#include <winable.h>
#include <stdio.h>

using namespace std;

int main(){
    Sleep(1000);
    BlockInput(true);
    Sleep(5000);
    BlockInput(false);
   
    return 0;
}

---

It compiles and runs fine, but it will not block the mouse or keyboard.

Mmkay. What do you imagine that we can deduce from this trouble report that can help you?

I'm not entirely sure why you think it's not working -- what does the program do, after all? -- but I can say this: just for fun, I compiled this with codeblocks, which does a press any key... bit after the program ends. Keys I pressed right away did close the window, but if I waited a couple of seconds, those keys were ignored. Make of that what you will.

It does everything but block the mouse or keyboard input i can still use both while it is running

Lemme guess. You want it to block everything for every application?

yes.

You can tell that im a newbie, so if you want to take the p........ then you can do.

Code:

---

cout << "Smash your keyboard and mouse with a hammer.\n"

---

As my example showed (at least in my mind), BlockInput is blocking keyboard input, but only for that program.

ok then.

Thanks tho
