Hi,

I have an app that I need to lock down. I've pretty much done as much as I think I can in FileMaker, but I'd really like to eliminate the ability for a user to Minimize a couple layouts, or switch out of the app, or access the Task bar.

Does anyone have suggestions for current, good apps, plugins or methods I might not have found yet to lock down this app?

Thanks.

Doesn't the built-in Kiosk mode meet your requirements?

Doesn't the app need to be developed in Kiosk mode first? I thought I read that... and I have already been developing this for quite a while and don't want to start over. If there's a way I can convert it, that might be doable.

Also, is this specifically for Webdirect? If so, that might not work well for this situation.

I've experimented with a copy of my app and I think, with some work, I can make the Kiosk mode work.

Thanks.

See, I was smart enough not to reply earlier.... 🙂

OK, so I got it "working", but when I have it run using a powershell script that has a Start-sleep timer in it, that just starts the same as a shortcut does, it opens with what appear to be TWO windows, like this below. Notice the scroll bars on the sides and bottom?

It does not do this when not in Kiosk mode...???

There are only two man layouts, "Login" and "InputScreen", both are exactly the same size, and "Login" is loaded at startup via a script in File Options / Script Triggers / OnFirstWindowOpen. The script is below. Note, the $wwidth and $wheight are not used with Kiosk mode, script for centering/resizing windows has been disabled with "exit script" at beginning.
