I am looking to create a VB.NET application. when the application is opened it will disable the keyboard and mouse so if you hit any keys it does nothing and you can not move the mouse. (even if currently selected window is not that of application).
I am kind of amazed that there is no answer to this anywhere and I mean anywhere. I am looking for a way to disable the keyboard (actually all input) on a computer. There are several threads about it but no one has ever posted any serious, working code. I know someone is going to inevitably ask "why would you want to do that"? Actually why I want to do it is immaterial but if you must know... I am playing with a "USB Keylock". When this USB Keylock is not present in the computer I want to disable the keyboard. When it is present I want to enable the keyboard.
I have done some reasearch on disabling the mouse and keyboard both on Google and on the forum and what ever i find can not get to work. What I'm trying to do is on a click of a button it will disable the mouse and keyboard. It must work in W
These work perfectly in the Windows/Desktop, but when I tried to use these in Games, the input from the program didn't seem to register, or rather registered in the background on the Desktop.

I am working on a voice recognition security system using vb2010 and now, my problem is on how to disable the keyboard, specially viewing Task manager while my application/program is running?
To start off with, I will say that I have tried ENDLESS attempts to surpress/capture/stop the actual sleep keystroke.
The code cannot require administrator privilege's. .
I tried:
Private Overrides Sub ProcessCmdKey, and Return true when the sleep key is pressed - did not disable sleep key LowLevelKeyboard - One that can disable the windows logo key - did not disable sleep key And many other keyhandling events, etc.
The code cannot create registry keys because that requires admin privilege's.
I have a WebBrowserControl on my main form and it auto navigates and all that just fine! What I would like to do is not allow the user to click anywhere within the WebBrowserControl while the program is running. Reason for this is that the browser self-navigates to a view of cameras and this shows scrollbars. My program then takes screenshots of specific coordinates on the screen so I do not want the user to use the scrollbars or highlight or do ANYTHING to the page once the program starts. I would like to change the cursor icon to like a red X or something similar to indicate no user functionality.
I am creating a DIY calculator.The one in W7, I can't hardly see. Mine is much simpler and larger.I currently have buttons for numeric 0 - 9, Add, Subtract, Multiply, Divide, Clear, Enter, and Decimal Point.There is a label at the top with displays results.If I use my mouse to select the buttons, then everything works okay. However, if I use the keyboard, I get strange results.I thought it may have been my old keyboard so I changed it.No difference.If it's not in the hardware, then it's in the code.The section below is what I have for keyboard use:
Private Sub Form1_KeyPress(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyPressEventArgs) Handles Me.KeyPress Ch = e.KeyChar Select Case Ch[code]....
For each of these, there is a corresponding Button_Click even farther down in the code. Since the mouse click on the buttons on the form works properly, the problem must be above. I can't see it.

I am a newbie to this forum. I searched across a lot to find a way in VB.net how to capture the keyboard and mouse events scoping to the whole computer. Basically what I want to do is make a keyboard and mouse macro recorder application, so that the regular job of starting the same programs again and again everyday might be automated.
I can't get the GetAscKeyState Function to respond to keystrokes. It works for mouse clicks just fine. Could it be an issue with my computer? I haven't seen anyone else with this problem.
I want to write a Visual Basic script for excel, which will take values from the cell and then put them in the specified fields in a 3d party application using global mouse positioning commands (smthing like ... SetMouseXY(X,Y,MouseButton); Keysdown(Ctrl+V); ...).
Ok so I've been searching the forums for the past hour (I used the search feature) and have had no luck coming across what I wanted to do.

I'm currently trying to write a program that will clone input from one program and broadcast it to 4 other windows (Mouse and keyboard, with the exception of the enter key). This is for a World of Warcraft and it is legal. I thought that I would use setWindowsHookEx, but I can't figure out how to set it up that it only takes the input from one window and not globally.Can anyone recommend the best way of cloning keyboard and mouse messages ? or give me an example of how to set a windows hook for only one program ?
The script should detect which key is pressed from the keyboard, including F keys; the script should start and when the user presses F2 should print something like "you pressed F2", when the user presses "A" should print "you pressed A", and so on
