KBDDISABLE()
Locks/unlocks the keyboard
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Syntax
KBDDISABLE(<lSwitch>) --> cNull
Argument
<lSwitch> Designates whether the keyboard is switched on (.T.) or
off (.F.).
Returns
KBDDISABLE() always returns a null string.
Description
With the help of this function, the keyboard can be turned on or off.
This allows you to prevent any user input for a specific time through
program control (even Ctrl-Alt-Del).
Note
. Be sure the program reenables the keyboard and does not leave
it locked when the program terminates.
Example
Switch off the keyboard for 5 seconds:
KBDDISABLE(.F.) // Turn off keyboard
INKEY(5) // Can't be shortened by input!
KBDDISABLE(.T.) // Turn on keyboard
