In a program that I'm developing using VB.Net, I want to lock certain keys on the keyboard of the user for some reasons. Are there any built-in functions that allows visual basic lock key? Or if none exists, how could I do this?

Lock Specific Keys on Keyboard with VB.Net Program

Hello  Cassandramariannaa,

Hope that my message finds you well.
Please try the following:
For example if we want to disable the space key.
Put this in the KeyDown() event:

    If e.KeyCode = Keys.Space Then
        e.SuppressKeyPress = True
    End If

Hope this solution will help you and please let me know if you need anything else.
Kind regards,
