shutting off keyboard controls

I am making a game that so far is working really good but at certain points I need the keyboard controls for the character to shut off. Is this possible?

I'd create a boolean variable which all of your events check before they carry out any other actions. Just set the variable to false if the keyboard controls need to be disabled.

Is it possible to do:

if:

blah blah happens

else

do key controls some method

?
