Lock Out Mouse & Keyboard Interference

[MikeOrlando]

Hello,

I have a lengthy script that relies on mouse movement. Users occasionally move the mouse accidently and mess this up. I see you can lockout input from the mouse and keyboard (I would want to allow the escape key). Is there a way to put a popup on the screen that input is locked while the script is running and if you want to break out of it what key to hit? Or must you presume the user can remember the ESC is the way out of the script?

Thanks!

I'm not sure what BlockInput, MouseMove does. Is it to BlockInput, Mouse, which only blocks mouse input?

AutoHotkey comes with robust documentation that includes detailed descriptions & examples for every command & function.

I had read the page and I'm just not sure of the difference.

Mouse: The user's keyboard and mouse input is ignored while a Click, MouseMove, MouseClick, or MouseClickDrag is in progress.
