Hi All!
I need to disable mouse (movements and buttons) for some time.
Please advise, how it can be implemented?
Thanks much for any ideas.
Best regards,
Felix

Why do you need to do this? The “how” most likely depends on the “why”.

I need to implement mouse locking function in my security application.
The application has a driver, so kernel mode solution is acceptable too.
Please help.

A way to do this would be to insert a class filter driver in the mouse
stack below MOUCLASS. Use a private IOCTL or WMI control to tell the
filter when to discard mouse reports coming up from below. The MOUFILTR
sample in the DDK should get you started. Search the Microsoft knowledge
base for an article about how to create a “control” device object (I
call it an Extra Device Object in the 2d ed of my WDM book) that your
app can talk to.
