Disable the ability to switch to other Windows programs
-
Hi All, I just want to disable the ability to switch to other Windows programs, when my programing is running(just like as the login prompt). I thought of using "SetSysModalWindow" but it now it comes under the Obsolete command set. Is there any other method by which we can achieve the same. Thanx in advance Sujan :-D

Two parts required: 1. Install low level keyboard hook and intercept keystrokes that allow you to switch between program, like ALT+TAB for example. 2. Modify the system policy so that the task manager is not invoked.

In the case of our application, we do it for security reasons. Don't want the operator to switch to Solitaire when he should be monitoring the nuclear power plant status...

That's fine, but I have to wonder whether the original posters app truly has these constraints. There seems to be more and more posts about folks wanting to add global hooks and muck with other applications and that worries me.
