Gerard: I don't want to disable the mouse permanently only when the send email form is visible. As soon as the mail is sent enable the mouse. Programmatically there must be a way but I haven't found it. I looked to see if the mouse is on a service but couldn't find. Stop the service while email is sending then start the service when it's done. That would be too simple. Thanks for your input. Regards,

Think about another problem : the computer may have some physical problem with the keyboard ... how the user will be able to finish / save its work if the mouse is disabled ? :o( I don't joke, i actually have this problem ; my old laptop keyboard isn't well recognized any more. I tried to plug an external one ... héhé ... any usb peripheral is ok, except for keyboards ... so i can't even enter the BIOS to dig the hole. Keys physically works, but makes strange behaviours, as if an alt or ctrl key was always pressed ; the tech'team said to me that it is a problem with the interruption repository on the motherboard, but there is no immediate solution cause the company (MAXDATA) is in liquidation. Gasp. But no problem, the mouse was there to let me finish my work on this computer ! (well, it was nnot so easy, i had to enter strings using the character map app, clicking on each letter and using the copy-paste to put them in the fields, but it worked !!). Gérard.
