Hi All,
I'm just wondering if it's possible to blockinput to a specific application rather than to everything?

Probably. Look in the HELP for
#IfWinActive / #IfWinExist AND BlockInput

If you blockinput without options when the window is active, you won't be able to change focus (Unless you use Task Manager)

Make sure you can move the mouse

To get the keys unblocked you will need to press CTRL & ALT & DELTE and open Task Manager

This will block input on windows defined in If statement.
Just add and WinActive("your window and/or ahk_class or ahk_id or ahk_pid")
To block for the whole application you will need ahk_pid

To Block input to a certain Window,
use WinSet, Disable, ...

That is surely the best way.

Thanks for all your suggestions.

The problem with this method:


is that although it blocks input to a specific window and allows the user to use other windows, it seems to not allow any windowing operations to be performed within the code on the window that is disabled.
