[Abed Rabie]

Dear All,

Trying to lock the keys of keyboard using java


Can anyone help me to lock the keys of the keyboard using the java desktop application event handler. I see that this work is done using c and c++.

I thinked about class Runtime but I'm still not reach to anything.

SO if u please try to send me a link for anything talking about this.

If I put this subject in the wrong category in the forum plz advice.

Thanks and best regards

Are you trying to lock the keys for the entire OS or just in your Java app. If you are trying the latter, noper. Not gonna work. Not without JNI anyway, which would require that c/c++ you mentioned.

Dear Friend,

So if I need to lock it from within the operating system. What solution you recommend.

Thanks and best regards

From your post what I gather is that you want to block keyboard input for intire operating system from within your java application.

To best of my knowledge this impossible without JNI. It has to be done through a native c/c++ method. In case you want to know how it is tobe done in windows through c++ try finding information on "Programming Windows Hooks". There is lot of information available on MSDN.
