SystemUtil Block Input method

[Surya]

Does the 'SystemUtil.BlockInput' method only block the keyboard/mouse operations during execution or will it block the statements in the scripts which has SendKeys/DeviceReplay operations being called??

For Example:

my code is as below:
################################

Code:

SystemUtil.BlockInput
Browser().Page().WebButton().Click
Set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
Browser().Page().WebEdit().Click
WshShell.SendKeys "%f"
Browser().Page().WebButton().Click

################################

Will QTP enters the characters "%f" in the WebEdit even though BlockInput has been used?

Thanks in Advance!!

Hi Surya,
systemutil.blockinput method Prevents keyboard and mouse input events from reaching applications.
You can use this method to prevent a run session being accidentally interrupted by someone using the keyboard or mouse on a QuickTest Professional computer.

After using this method, keyboard and mouse input is blocked until one of the following occurs:

An UnblockInput statement is used
A run session ends or is paused for any reason (end of test run, run error, breakpoint, and so forth)
The Ctrl+Alt+Delete key combination is pressed on the keyboard
A critical system error occurs
Hence the characters "%f" will not be sent

Hi Ravi,

Thanks for providing the info. I tried myself this today on QTP and it worked as said.

Thanks,
