Then you are looking for the System Modal API which doesn't work. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/147817
You can sudo it, but there are drawbacks to it. Better to not do it. -----Original Message----- From: Jack Skelley Sent: Wednesday, October 01, 2008 1:44 PM Tracy: Actually is a very good idea...at least in my way of thinking... I need to be able to prevent the user from clicking on a set of windows (several are VFP windows) and several are Internet Explorer windows. I don't want to let the user change the window that currently has focus. The VFP app selects the window that is brought to the top then closes that window when it is done. If the window is closed or changed to a window that should not get the focus it 'messes' things up. You know how users are...when in doubt click the mouse on something...

Disabling the mouse sounds like a real bad idea. -----Original Message----- From: Jack Skelley Sent: Wednesday, October 01, 2008 1:25 PM Good Afternoon All: I need to be able to disable the mouse when a form is active and then be able to enable the mouse when the form is released. I have looked and can't find in info on the topic. I could not locate an API do disable the mouse. Any ideas? Thanks!
