I know that there are posts out there for disabling the mouse AND keyboard. This does not help since all I want to do is disable the keyboard. If anyone can help with me with this, it would be much appreciated.
 
That did not work and it just said an error in running the rundll. So is there any other method?
 
Ponerse,
The link after your signature -- it took my to a REALITY page, if you get my drift..

Is there anyone out there that knows how disable the keyboard? Or even the control button?
 
Do you want to disable the keyboard globally, or just for your application?
 
Use the BlockInput API Call... with caution though

Private Declare Function BlockInput Lib "user32" (ByVal fBlock As Long) As Long

BlockInput True ' Blocks input until set to false

BlockInput False ' unblocks input

strongm - I want it globally, if I can't do that then just do it just for my application.
