Dissabling Buttons.

[Eli_1]

It's in c++, but it's just an API call so it shouldn't be so hard to port to VB.

Doesnt' vb have constants. VBTAB or VB_TAB or VBKEYTAB or something like that?

Yes, vbKeyTab.

Aight, I've been searching and I found this.

The only problem I have is finding the Windows Button.
Any of those abreviations stand for that button?

I *think* the windows button just sends Ctrl+Esc.

Quick search for '"windows key" key code':
VK_LWIN = 0x5B;

Quick search for '"windows key" key code':
VK_LWIN = 0x5B;

That is the same key as ']', isn't it?  At least, that's the ascii value of ']'.

And I don't think the windows key has a code, or at least the code doesn't get passed to the form, but why don't you try displaying all pressed keys?  Then you'd see the code.

Unless you look through each process,
App.TaskVisible = False should hide your program from ctrl alt del

That's not a bad idea, there's a program called "window hider" I posted on the general forum some time ago that will hide programs from ctrl-alt-delete and from clicking on them.  You wouldn't be able see the window either, though.

I didn't think the windows key was passed on to applications either, but I found a code example that appeared to register it as a hotkey using that constant.  *Shrug*
