Grey-out and disable the whole desktop

You know, in XP, when you go Start->Turn Off Computer, the Turn Off Computer window will appear and the rest of the screen turns grey and not responding to user interaction. Same happens for window card space. Is there any way to do that in C++/C#?
Why would you want to do that? That's a very specific System action, assuming you want to duplicate the same UI and visual experience, what on earth would your program do that it needs to duplicate thing? Isn't that misleading to the user?

Border line programming question, are you after the code or an explaination?

From what I'm aware, it screengrabs the real desktop, creates a new fake desktop, adjusts the grab, and pastes it onto the new window (try alt-tab when you've got the shut down dialog open) Don't see any reason why you couldn't do the same in C#
This could be a way to do it. Plus disabling system keys? the Windows key doesn't work when shutdown dialog open. With windows cardspace, alt-tab wouldn't work either. I guest it disabled those too... The reason I post this is that I thought there is a more convenient way to do it like a system API or something...

Our business is working on a surveillance system and the interface basically takes over the entire screen. Sometimes we would like to grab user's attention / prevent user from any further interaction.

Thanks toxcct, so it is the screenshot method like ben^ mentioned? I have discussed with my college before and thought about the screen shot method, but I thought since the shutdown window does it, and the cardspace window does it, there might be a API built in to do it... Seems not so... ;P Anyway, thanks for your help.

Hmm, well that would definitely do it!

If you are asking in ASP.NET Webpage, you can opacity style setting to do it in JavaScript.
