Blocking Input Without Admin

[Voluntondile]

Hi,

I've read dozens of threads looking for a way to block keyboard input without an administrator account with no luck. What I have is a script that bounces between 3 difference windows, sending keystrokes to the windows like ^c, ^v, c, {tab}, and a couple others. I tried the below but unfortunately it seems to block the script from using those keys also. I just want to stop the user from sending any keystrokes that would throw off the script from where it is (one of the files is an Excel file).

What I've tried:

Code: Select all

Input, Keys, T1, {Esc}
If (ErrorLevel = "Match")
	Send {%Keys% Down}
Return

Was also looking to have Esc as the escape key.

Thanks in advance! Appreciate any ideas.

Hallo,
try:

Code: Select all

#Persistent
Loop
{
	Input, Keys, IL1, {Esc}{Left}{Right}{Up}{Down} ;EndKeys are not blocked
	If InStr(ErrorLevel,"EndKey")
		Keys := SubStr(ErrorLevel,8)
	Send {%Keys%}
}
Return
q::Send, ^a ;also will not be blocked

I don't know if you can check if current user is admin, but you can check if the script was ran as one: A_IsAdmin

Thanks Rohwedder. That seems to mostly do what I need however it also seems to be blocking clicks, which my script needs. Do you know how I would correct that?
