>Is there a way to turn off input (keyboard and mouse) briefly while a process completes, then, turn them back on?
Kind of...
You can use
declare BlockInput in win32api integer lBlockIT
BlockInput(.t.)
BlockInput(.f.)
The drawback of this is that if the user press {CTRL+ALT+DEL} and then escape, then the keyboard and mouse are unlocked.
