Disable right mouse button and enable only for specific program

[-Huub-]

Hi, I was wondering if someone could help me with a AHK script that disables the right mouse button, but only enables it within a certain program that is running.
So if the program is active the user can only use the right mouse button within this specific program, trying the right mouse button on the taskbar, start menu button, desktop or even a other program other then mentioned is not allowed..

Thx in advanced!

you can use GroupAdd and #IfWinActive to achieve what you want.

here's an example.

Code: Autohotkey [Select]

1. GroupAdd, $NoRightClick, Foxit PDF Editor        
2. GroupAdd, $NoRightClick, ahk_class Notepad
3. GroupAdd, $NoRightClick, ahk_class IEFrame
4.  
5. #IfWinActive ahk_group $NoRightClick
6. ;Disable right click
7. RButton::Return
8. #IfWinActive

Hi lanux128, Thx for your quick reply.
Your solution is not exactly what I was looking for. I want to disable the right mouse click for everything, it should only work if a specific program (prog32.exe) is active.
Your solution is only blocking the right mouse button for specified programs.

Does the prog32.exe have a corresponding window title?

If I look it up with AHK, it is ahk_class ProMainWin

Give this a try:

Code: Autohotkey [Select]

1. #IfWinNotActive, ahk_class ProMainWin
2. {
3.     ; Disable right click
4.     RButton::Return
5. }
6. #IfWinNotActive

Hi Skwire, this almost works! If the program window (ahk_class ProMainWin) is active and I go to the toolbar for instance, I can still rightclick.. If  the program window (ahk_class ProMainWin) isn't active it works great. Would it be possible to adjust the code so that it knows the size of the active  program window (ahk_class ProMainWin), so that it only works within the program ?
Or put some extra code in that will deactive the program window if the mouse leaves it ?

I think I follow you.  Try this instead:

Code: Autohotkey [Select]

1. RButton::
2. {
3.     Click
4.     WinGet, myProcess, ProcessName, A
5.     If ( myProcess = "prog32.exe" )
6.     {
7.         Click, Right
8.     }
9. }
10. Return

Hi Skwire, alomst there, it worked the only thing I see is that when you sript is active and the mouse cursor is is not in the prog32.exe program, the right mouse button acts like a left mouse button.
So if I click with the right button on a shortcut, or Start button it does the same as if I use the left mouse button, could it than be inactive like RButton::return ?

[skwire]

Try this, please:

Code: Autohotkey [Select]

1. RButton::
2. {
3.     MouseGetPos, , , myID,
4.     WinGet, myProcess, ProcessName, ahk_id %myID%
5.     If ( myProcess = "prog32.exe" )
6.     {
7.         Click, Right
8.     }
9. }
10. Return

You're welcome.  I'm glad it's working for you.  =]

Always great to see threads like this -- except to the extent that skwire makes the rest of us coders look like slackers..
