Disabling Windows Nt
Okay, it’s driving me nuts and maybe someone knows a good answer to this one...
Windows 9X: With some simple API, you can “lock” a system with your program… disable CTRL+ALT+DEL, disable ALT+TAB, etc. and it’s done.
Windows NT: Not so simple. CTRL+ALT+DEL being a hardware interrupt, nothing can stop it (as I understand), but that’s not that big of a deal, I just want to keep the workstation unusable until the timer says otherwise.
So far, I’ve tried setting a timer to keep my form on top maximized, and that timer also does “FindWindow” for a window titled “Windows Task Manager” and uses SendMessage to close that window.
There has got to be an easier/better way to do this? Any ideas?
Disabling The Windows Key
Is there a way to disable the windows key on the keyboard? The one that looks like the windows logo and its between the ctrl and alt keys. The reason I ask is because I'm making a program similiar to the windows nt and windows 2000 'Lock Computer' thing, but for windows 98. Any help would be appreciated.
Disabling Keys In Windows NT
I have been trying to find a way to disable the windows key, ctrl, alt del, alt and tab,ctrl and esc, alt, esc etc (keys associated with changing programs, so the current window will stay in focus and the user won't be able to focus onto any new windows) within Windows NT.
If anyone could help me with this, it would be much appreciated...
Thank you all in advance.

Disabling The Windows Task Bar
I want to be able to run only my application on the PC such that the
user cannot access the task bar while my application is executing. Upon
boot up of the PC, my application will be run automatically (through
some sort of batch file placed in the startup folder of Windows) and
while my program is running the Windows taskbar will not be available
to the user. It will only be available when my application has been
completely closed.
Can this be done in VB? Any help would be appreciated.

Disabling The Windows Keys
I need my app to disable the window keys (windows key, windows + tab, ctrl + alt + del e.c.t)
I hav a feeling that i can't disable them but will have to trap them before windows notices they were pressed. Another problem is that i need all the other keys to work (letters, numbers, and enter). so the whole keyboard can't be blocked.
Im tryin to make an app that is similar to a screen saver, it locks the pc until a password is entered (no i don't want to use a screen saver )
Hope someone know
thnx.

Enabling/Disabling Start Button On Windows 2000
I am looking for the API(s) and sample code that I can use that will allow me to enable and disable the windows start button. The reason is I am helping a friend of mine whose primary tech support person recently passed away, and he disables the start button upon loging (I assume). I was hoping to:
1) understand how that can happen
2) have a temp solution to enable it to perform some admin task - such as backup the server
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
Disabling Subform Without Disabling The Scrollers
Hi Eveyone,
I have a subform and i want to disable it so user can't change the values in it. However, I want the user to be able to scroll it since the subform is in Datasheet view and it has quite a lot of fields.
I tried locking it, but the user is still able to see the other options in the combo box and i don't want that to happen.
Is it possible to just disable the data entering or changing in a form directly (i want to be able to change the data through my main form)?

Disabling ALT+TAB On NT
CTRL+ALT+DEL and ALT+TAB can be disabled on Win95/98/ME by using the following

However this does not work for NT or 2000 or greater. Does anyone know how this can be done.

Disabling The F10 Key
Help,
My application uses the f1 to f10 keys to do something. They all work, however, after f10 does it's thing it also higlights the 1st item on the menu bar. Try it now and see what I mean. Is there a way to disable this "feature" in windows so that f10 only does what I tell it to do? As of right now the user has to press escape to get back to where he was.
Thanks
Disabling A Sub()
Hello,
I have a small serial communication program that sends/receives data through RS232 ComPort1. Nothing fancy just 2 text boxes for send and receive. The program monitors the string in the "receive" text box (string comes from another device, via serial port). As soon as the string is equal to a predefined string, i set the "send" textbox.text equal to another predefined string and send it back to the device. Here is the problem:
The monitoring is done by a Private Sub txtReceive_change()
What i need to do is disable that ENTIRE sub when the PC is sending out data. The device the PC communicates with has a loopback/echo, so all the data comes back to the receive box, and the txtReceive_change() sub keeps acitvating, this messes up the transmission speeds.
So how can i disable and then re-enable an entire sub() ???
Thank you,
Boris.

Code:
Public Type CUSTOMVERTEX
X As Single
Y As Single
Z As Single
rhw As Single
color As Long
specular As Long
tu As Single
tv As Single
End Type
Public Const D3DFVF_CUSTOMVERTEX = D3DFVF_XYZRHW Or D3DFVF_TEX1 Or D3DFVF_DIFFUSE Or D3DFVF_SPECULAR
'as you can see my vertex inludes color but is completly ignored by direct x

Disabling Checkboxes
Hello,
I have four checkboxes for a quiz.
I want the user to be able to select 2 out of the 4 checkboxes only. e.g. the user can only select checkbox 1 and 2 and if they try to select checkbox 3 aswell then they get a message saying they are only allowed to select 2.
I have used this code in each of the checkboxes but it seems to be having no effect:
Private Sub Check1_Click()
If Check1.Value = 1 Then
i = i + 1
If i > 2 Then
MsgBox "You must only select two boxes!"
Let Check1.Value = 0
i = 2
End If
Else
i = i - 1
End If
End Sub
Private Sub Check2_Click()
If Check2.Value = 1 Then
i = i + 1
If i > 2 Then
MsgBox "You must only select two boxes!"
Let Check1.Value = 0
i = 2
End If
Else
i = i - 1
End If
End Sub
This is the same for checkbox 3 and 4 too.
Can anyone tell me why this is not working?
Disabling CheckBoxes
I have a quiz and in one form i have four checkboxes. I have coded it so if the user checks the 2 correct boxes then one is added to the score:
Private Sub Picture1_Click()
If Check1.Value Then Score = Score + 1
If Check3.Value Then Score = Score + 1
End Sub
However, what i have found is that the user can actually check all four boxes and therefore increase the score - which obviously shouldnt happen.
Is there any way i can limit the user to checking only two checkboxes? Any source/samplecode would be great.
What i mean is that the user could select CheckBox1, CheckBox2, CheckBox3 and CheckBox4 all at the same time.
What i want to do is to allow the user to only select two checkboxes in total. For example, if the user selects CheckBox1, then this means he has to select only one of CheckBox2, CheckBox3 or CheckBox4.

The application will execute the do loop, how can I stop the do loop...???
If I put a another control(button) to disable the control(button), will the loop still continue
Disabling The Tabstrip
Hi,
I need to disable the tabstrip until a user presses a command button, this I can manage, but the tabstrip doesn't change its apearence at all and I was thinking that the user may not realise it is disabled or not.
Basically my question is - can you change the font colour on the tabstrip at all? I was hoping to grey out the text so that it actually looks disabled. I have looked around and it isn't looking promising, hopefully somebody out there can prove me wrong.
Thanks.
P.S. I can't really use SStab as I am working on a project that has already been started by somebody else and to change from the tabstrip they used to an SSTab control would take a lot of effort and me being the lazy guy I am - not an option and besides I can't seem to find it
