Hello Everyone,
I am working on VisualStudio2008 (c#) and trying to create a windows form as a System Dialog.
Means when this form is open then user should not allow using any other application.
It should work as a “ShutDown” dialog.
Please provide me any sample.
Thanks
I'm not sure this is possible. OS shoul not allow it, because it could allow you (or user) to disable whole system. Event it would be possible, I think it is not good practice.
Basically I have created a survey application which will ask few questions.
What I am trying to do here , when user logon to his system this application should run automatically (Means startup)
Without completing survey user should not allow to use other system applications.
Please let me know your thought.
Make the application fill the whole screen and set it to 'always on top' may be a start.
If it loses focus before the survey is complete, logoff the user/shut the system down..
Hey... please don't install this on my machine ;)
Thar could work, but I still believe it is not a good idea to make such an application, Don't forget that you should serve to the users, not distrub them.
Is there any other way to do that?
Thanks for your time!
It is indeed possible.
This is a VB.NET article, right here on CodeGuru ( people forget / don't even know about CG's massive resource of articles )

There are some valid uses for this sort of thing. For example, a kiosk type app at a vendor store where you should not be able to interact with anything but the application. The problem is that people who ask for this sort of thing do not tell us why it is necessary, and in general is a horrible idea.Quote:
