Hi Lan,
Currently I am doing some automation in python excel. It read the data & plots number of graphs. It took more than 20 minutes. So while running my python program if user clicks on excel, error came.
So just i want to lock GUI not workstation.
I hope you understand this.
Let me know if you have any idea about it.
