Hi all members

I want to disable some specific keys (like F2, F5) / key-sets (like CTRL+ALT+DEL, CTRL+ESC), while user is running my program (if I want the user to be unable to abnormally terminate the program through Task Manager or other process terminators .. ).

Any ideas, how I can implement that in my C++ code ?

Thanx in advance

You cannot do that actually because you do not get the message before windows and they relay the event to your program

But I have seen some games, where you cannot escape from the game by pressing CTRL+ALT+DEL or CTRL+ESC.

And, I have seen "many" VB codes with that feature.

in VB that is possible, I was going to post about this, but again Shabbir will give infraction mentioning out of topic reply.

In VB, it's possible to achiieve the same.

If it's possible in VB then it'll be possible in C++ as well.
How would you do it in VB; that might indicate how it can be done in C++.

The way the game do it very low level programming may be but I would love to see if its possible to block CAD

OK Guys, I found the solution here :: http://www.codeproject.com/KB/winsdk...ioWinLock.aspx
( although the methods for disabling CAD are not very simple and system-friendly )
