ALT+CTL+DEL

HOW CAN I TRAP ALT+CTL+DEL?
THANKS IN ADVANCE

[Iouri]

Use the Keycode function in the Keydown event and if the Control key is pressed then Keycode = 0 and
exit the subroutine. See the VB help file on Keycode.


Private Sub Text1_KeyDown(Index As Integer, KeyCode As Integer, Shift As Integer)

Dim ShiftDown, AltDown, CtrlDown, Txt

Const KEY_F2 = &H71 ' Define constants.

Const SHIFT_MASK = 1
Const CTRL_MASK = 2
Const ALT_MASK = 4
ShiftDown = (Shift And SHIFT_MASK) > 0
AltDown = (Shift And ALT_MASK) > 0
CtrlDown = (Shift And CTRL_MASK) > 0
If CtrlDown Then
'MsgBox "Control key pressed"
KeyCode = 0
End If
End sub


'This is how you can trap that the key is pressed. If you want to know how to disable it let me know

End Sub


'====disable only Ctrl-Alt-Del========

Sub DisableCtrlAltDelete(bDisabled As Boolean)
Dim X As Long
X = SystemParametersInfo(SPI_SCREENSAVERRUNNING, bDisabled, CStr(1), 0)
End Sub
