DISABLE.INPUT

Macro Sheets Only

Blocks all input from the keyboard and mouse to Microsoft Excel (except input to displayed dialog boxes). Use DISABLE.INPUT to prevent input from the user or from other applications.

Syntax

DISABLE.INPUT(logical)

Logical is a logical value specifying whether input is currently disabled. If logical is TRUE, input is disabled; if FALSE, input is reenabled.

Remarks

Disabling input can be useful if you are using dynamic data exchange (DDE) to communicate with Microsoft Excel from another application.

Important Be sure to end any macro that uses DISABLE.INPUT(TRUE) with a DISABLE.INPUT(FALSE) function. If you do not include DISABLE.INPUT(FALSE) to allow non-dialog-box input, you will not be able to take any actions on your computer after the macro has finished.
