Description Using this action, you can prevent mouse clicks from being processed by Windows. Clicking any mouse button will generate now response from the workstation an Unlock Mouse action is encountered, or until the task ends. You can use this action to prevent interruption to tasks, and to your workstation as a whole, while an AutoMate™ task is working.

Notes

• This action prevents mouse clicks globally, which means that the mouse buttons cannot be used by any application until the mouse is unlocked or the task ends

• Locking the mouse also prevents AutoMate™ from moving or clicking the mouse as well. This means that a Record mouse movements action will fail unless the mouse is unlocked first.

• Because this action imposes a global system mouse lock, a task that locks the mouse may prevent another task from playing recorded mouse movements. To prevent this, be sure the mouse is in a known state before launching tasks that require a Record mouse movements action.
