New question #277073 on Sikuli:

I'm attempting to run a script that only activates at certain intervals (It
monitors a window), while also trying to prevent the user from inputting
anything while the script does what it does.
Here's an idea of what I'm trying to accomplish:
The user is doing something on one screen, such as on google chrome, or writing
a document, etc.
On a second screen there's a timed process running (Input can only be added
after X interval).
To minimize the effort needed for the user to input the data, I've made the
script automatically go to the prompt the user needs to when it's ready.
However, this doesn't prevent the user from inputting anything. If they're
dragging the mouse while sikuli is trying to, they overpower it (Ruining the
entire purpose of it). The prompt is also specific on what you can enter, so if
a user manages to accidentally hit enter early or etc, it will also void the
input.
If I could momentarily block user input (No mouse input, keyboard input limited
to stopping the script or like an escape key), this would prevent the user from
overriding the script.
However, if there is no way to block the users input, is there a way I could
get the name of the active window?
Right now, I send a prompt on screen that warns the user (The script doesn't go
till they hit ok), but I only want this to fire if the window isn't the one
that the script needs. (Basically: if activeWindow("Application") is False: ).
As there's no reason I should wait for the user to say it's okay to take over,
if they're already waiting.
I tried to look around for an answer on this and the closest I found was a post
where someone wrote a code that would delay the script for 15 seconds while the
user is using the mouse.
Sorry for the rambling.
