Graying out an application would be the equivalent of disabling the application. If you are disabling a Windows Form that you created in your project, then you can use the property "Enabled" to disable or enable the controls.


If you are trying to disable an application, that can be trickier because you don't know how this will affect the overall app if you forcefully try to disable the app. There are options like "Hide()" to hide the app or you could also just put a notification at the front of the screen to say to not touch the application while the automation is running.

Hello Mitch,


Thanks for the reply. My requirement is to inform end user  - not to use the application when automation is running. This could be done either by Progress Bar or Gray Out.


1. If Gray Out option is trickier, how to put the notification when automation runs and show the notification till automation runs.


2. Can you please provide more details of how to use progress bar? 


 


Thanks.
