Remote keyboard and mouse lock?

[tsollas]

Would like ability to lock the remote keyboard and mouse when connecting.... Believe Vnc supports ihis.

If by "lock" you mean turning the session into a "view only" mode session, then you can do that right now. Open the session editor for the session in question, tap on "Advanced" and scroll down to reveal "View-Only Mode". You can then disable it while the session is in progress by tapping on the "Send" button (third one from the right on the top toolbar), and selecting "Exit View-Only Mode".

Hope this helps!,

I think tsollas is asking for the opposite, IE lock the keyboard and mouse of the computer being controlled and continue input from the app.

I'm sorry, but I don't believe the opposite is possible. The OS would have to stop sending keyboard and mouse events to applications. But not to the VNC server. I don't see this working. And this is definitely not a VNC feature I've ever heard of.

Yes, that's what I was asking lazybones...

Understood Raf... Now that i look at it, you can do this, but it's a server side option, not a client side, at least in UltraVNC. Hence my confusion...

It is? Well, I take my comment back then

Thanks!,
