Block a user action on a specific file

Help Studio
1

I would like to run an automation that happens as follows:

  • when the user accesses a file, in my case it would be ppt, I would like that while it was open he could not click on a button, in this case it would be the selection panel.
  • When moving the mouse pointer closer to the element, the pointer would move to another part of the screen.

Hey you can try blocking user input as a whole by using the block user input activity which is present in UiPath.System.Activities.

The documentation for the activity is mentioned in this link https://docs.uipath.com/activities/other/latest/ui-automation/block-user-input
Using alt+ f10, the user can regain control

That isn’t a solution. That completely blocks user input. It makes the keyboard and mouse not work.

What you’re trying to do isn’t possible with an automation. Automations do things, they don’t react to what the user is doing.
