I've replied to your other topic that says this, I think it's in code snippets.

Cant help you I'm afraid but I would suggest you dont do this. Alt/tab, ctrl-alt-del etc are there for a reason - to allow you to switch programs and to get out of a crashed program repectively. Disabling all the system keys could result in a program that cant be escaped from - always a bad thing.

I cant see any (legitimate) reason to disable these.

ctrl alt delete should never be disabled because its a saftey breakout combination. However, there are legit reasons for disabling other keys, alt+space was always the first thing to get disabled because in early first person shooters (that were played entirly with keyboard) alt was strafe and space would be jump or fire, it was akiller to have your game stop for pressing the two together Alt tabbing and windows keys are often disabled because they lead to graphics messups and things. Also, if the game optimises screen gamma/brightness then windows can end up looking wrong. So often those keys are disabled and occasionally a minimise button is added manually which toggles things like brightness ready for windows use.

And sorry, i have no clue how to disable the sytem keys in darkbasic

Another legitimate reason, could be for example, you want to make a program to protect your desktop, and it cannot be closed unless the computer is switched off, or the password (which you set) is entered.

Take a look at my attempt, the .dll file needs to be compiled in something other then DB though, I compiled the .dll in Visual C++ 6.0 Enterprise Edition (I didn't write the .dll however, and it isn't working properly, have a toy around with it, I think it was Andrew11 who wrote it for me?)

(You'll have to call the dll function yourself in the .dba source file from the .dll file)

Hope this helps.

Darkdomy, it doesn't work properly in its current state, try asking Andrew11, though he is very busy with things.

I think some system tools can set programs to Maximum Priority, which freezes everything else of course, but I'm not sure if that disables syskeys or not...

You might wanna tell Lee that Disable Systemkeys isn't working properly. It SHOULD stop Ctrl+Alt+Del...

I'm here... Sort of...

I just kinda got banned from the computer (especially DarkBASIC) by my parents.
It's a long story (nothing illegal or bad of course).
I'm supposed to be doing my science homework now.
But don't worry. After school is over, I'll be back in action.

I didn't write it though. I wish I could write DLL's. I should fully learn C++ one day. I wrote a password script that you liked. I feel like I let you down though because I think that it was not very good and I wanted to make it better. oh well...

I personally hate programs that disable systemkeys, because if something goes wrong, you can't get out... and that's reason to me to never use that program/game ever again. Maybe I'm just paranoid.

I don't know how to write the DLL, but I understand the idea.

When windows recieves information from the keyboard, it checks it and then sends it to another open program.
If that input happens to be CONTROL+ALT+DELETE, it opens the task manager. It does not send it to DB.
What you need to do is intercept the signal and not let it get to windows with a hook. That you cannot do in DB, without a DLL.

Nilrem, pasword protection works on my xp screensavers at work, the password is intergal to windows not the screen saver, so a screen saver programmed to be a windows screen saver has password protection built in. I don't know what's special about a windows screen saver, is it just a executable? I don't know, but I know I've seen a post or to on making them.
