Question about the mouse plugin

[quixote]

I haven't tried it yet, because it's a little bit risky blocking keys, but I was wondering if it is possible to block the mouse button presses in the same way as blocking keyboard keys.

I'm trying to create a computer lockdown mode whereby Girder will still react to events, but the screen is turned off and windows will not accept any keys or mouse button events.

Possible?

Thanks.

My Mouse plugin will do this, Q.

Note that it is a seperate download and is different from the "mouse controls" plugin in the standard distro.

Make sure you have a way to unlock your computer again though!

Thanks, John. I've been using the mouse plugin, actually. I've been using the mouse button events to turn off the monitor, but there are ways of getting around certain things using that method. For instance, if I right click on the desktop the screen goes blank, but then if I move the mouse the screen turns on again and I can see the context menu then click on properties. The screen going blank all the time is a nuisance, but will not stop anyone from tampering with the system.

I'm guessing that I can create another configuration that will not send unshifted clicks to windows?

Thanks for your help (and the great plugin, I may add).
