Locking windows desktop
-
Hi, I wonder how to lock up the windows desktop in C#, meaning that the user can't do anything, just sees a form... I've been thinking about using a form with maximized window state and topmost = true, but then I still need to disable the ALT + TAB shortcut somehow... Does anyone have any suggestions? Your help is greatly appreciated :) - a young C# programmer

Why would you want to do this ? One way would be to put a window over the desktop, which is transparent, and doesn't appear in the taskbar.

I'm working on a project in school to lock public computers and to regain access with a PIN code.. Yes, I've thought of that myself but this can be ignored by switching to another app with CONTROL - TAB, no? Regards :)
If the window were set to always on top it wouldn't matter if they used alt-tab. Although the most secure way (relatively speaking) would be to logout.
only two letters away from being an asset

You can catch an event when your form loses focus, and bring it back to the front. But, yes, logging out is the best way to do it, Windows is already built around that.
