Which event occurs when user presses Ctrl+Alt+Del and then "Lock Computer"?
-
Hi I have a dialog based MFC application in which I want to handle an event which occurs when user presses Ctrl+Alt+Del and from Windows Security dialog it select "Lock Computer" button and it locks the computer. I want to know which event occurs and how to trap this event? Any help would be strongly appreciated. Mahesh

IIRC, you cannot "trap" the SAS (
CTRL-ALT-DEL) due to security reasons. I am not sure if applications can register (or receive) notification that the system has been locked. You can also see an earlier post I made about Desktops in http://www.codeproject.com/script/comments/forums.asp?msg=1362087&forumid=1647#xx1362087xx[^]. Peace! -=- James
If you think it costs a lot to do it right, just wait until you find out how much it costs to do it wrong!

Receiving notice when Ctrl+Alt+Del has been pressed will require your own GINA DLL. However, whenever the computer has been locked, see
ISensLogon::DisplayLock().

Perhaps, but I'm unaware of what it might be.

If you want to receive a notification about when the window station switches between locked states checkout the WTSRegisterSessionNotification[^] API, using it you can receive a
WM_WTSSESSION_CHANGEmessage. Gavin Taylor w: http://www.gavspace.com -

This seems like a Terminal Services solution, rather than a general-purpose one. Yes?

Windows XP actually uses a dumbed down version of Terminal Services (for fast user switching / remote desktop, etc), I just tried it to double check myself and it does work. Gavin Taylor w: http://www.gavspace.com
