disable control-alt-delete using C#

[Vireshh]

I am using the C# language for developing the software.

How could I disable control-alt-delete buttons so that the user of the program could only use the dropdown menu's Exit option to quit the program?

Start the taskmanager hidden.(can't kill a process) and if the key's hit again..it will stay hidden.

Then close it when the exam is done.

[DllImport("user32.dll")]

public static extern int FindWindow(string lpClassName, string lpWindowName);

[DllImport("User32.dll")]

public static extern Int32 SendMessage(

int hWnd, // handle to destination window

int Msg, // message

int wParam, // first message parameter

int lParam); // second message parameter

private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)

{

Process p = new Process();

p.StartInfo.WorkingDirectory = Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.System);

p.StartInfo.FileName = "taskmgr.exe";

p.StartInfo.CreateNoWindow = true;

p.StartInfo.WindowStyle = ProcessWindowStyle.Hidden;

p.Start();

}

private void Form1_FormClosing(object sender, FormClosingEventArgs e)

{

const int WM_CLOSE = 0x0010;

int taskManager = FindWindow("#32770", "Windows Task Manager");

SendMessage(taskManager, WM_CLOSE, 0, 0);

}

You can use this hint also,

whenever another window is opened (including the Task Manager), your window gets a Deactivate event. For instance:

private void MyForm_Deactivate (...)
{
Activate ();
BringToFront ();
Focus ();
}

This will already help keeping your window on top of most others.

It's complete Bullshit.
Ctrl-Alt-Del does't activate TaskMgr if the OS is configured to switch the desktop,
You can call TerminateProcess() with any proggie,
WM_CLOSE must not never be sent,
etc...
Simply disable Ctrl-Alt-Del with the usual method with Win32 api

Hi,

I had also confused with this thread but when i checked it out it works properly.

You can disable Ctrl-Alt-Del with the usual method with Win32 application,
but this is just the programming method to do this.
& this method is mentioned in msdn library.
