How to block user mouse input but allow mouse positioning programmatically.

Hello,

I have a code that blocks mouse input from the user by hooking mouse events, but I want to be able to move the mouse programmatically, eg. using:

Cursor.Position = New Point(500,500)

The mouse won't move because that event is being hooked. Would I have to disable the mouse itself?
If so, how would I do this?

Might sound a bit simplistic but couldn't you just unhook while you're doing that?

no. basically, I want to make a trolling program that moves the mouse and scares a person (who I know; no laws broken).
if the person moves the mouse, it's stupid. i'd have to unhook and rehook every millisecond or so if that was the case.
