Hello dear MMF Users
i want to make an application (type of screensaver) where the user isnt able to switch to the desktop with
Alt+Tab, Ctrl+Esc etc...without the right password
I know the Control X Object can disable these combinations but it doesnt work on my pc (vista) except the Alt+F4 combo
maybe someone knows another solution for the problem ?
i would apreciate !
thank you and have a nice week
EDIT: the user must be able to type a password into the application.
Try the Kiosk object.
If that doesn't work you can disable Taskmgr from the registry.
Closing out explorer.exe will allow you to block the windows key and the ctrl+Esc combination.
To disable Alt+F4 check off "disable close" in the app properties.
I have an example of this on my site that I made a while ago. It's at the bottom. Maybe it will help. :)

To add to stephen's example just remove the quit(alt-F4) option from the menu bar, and add a condition that ends explorer.exe so that the windows key will no longer function.
hey thank you very much
stephen...really nice examples !
anyway i ve found a way to make this by myself
ive blocked Alt+F4 with the control x object
ive used the window control object and made a new condition in the event editor:
Always:
- Set Window topmost
- Set Window to top
- Show Window
- Set Window Maximized
no it works perfectly...the user isnt able to exit the application but it reacts always on a keyboard input to
give the password input
anyway i thank you for that example i searched for this some days ago but havent found it.
i wish you the best
greetings
Just so you know, you don't need both the "Set window topmost" and "Set window to top" events. One works fine. Glad I could help. :)

Doesn't Ctrl-Alt-Del still work?
