And Disabling input like this is horrible. The official method is BlockInput()
Read the Petzold + Richter to learn Win32 api...

marco93, I'm reading Programming Windows by Charles Petzold, and I know about MSDN, it doesn't show every cool thing that can be done with C++. If it did, I would be completely amazed. Also, HOW IS THE CODE HORRIBLE?. BlockInput can't do everything. Compile the first code for a mouse disabler. It makes it so you can only move it in a circle. Can you do that with BlockInput?
