I have Kiosk application. Is it possible using FileMaker Developer to disable any of the following windows key shortcuts?

Want to disable "ctrl-alt-delete" key combo.

Want to disable the "Windows" key that launches the Start menu.

On a kiosk application, you can understand why I would want these keys disbaled?

Thank you.

Hello,

In FileMaker you can 'capture' the 'key-down' status ONLY when performing a script or clicking a button that is linked to a script. This is done with the 'Status (CurrentModifierKeys)' function. Remember this ONLY works within FileMaker.

To 'capture' or in your case, 'disable' certain keys, you will need to do something in the OS. I haven't done this, but you may be able to find something on the web about 'changing the registry' that would 'modify' the functions of certain keys.

You may also want to look into 'desktop security' utilities such as Full Armor or Fortress 101. These products do offer some of the capabilities your looking for.

Good Luck,

Bob Kundinger

those keys are system keys arent they? you would need to find a system utility, it has nothing to do with FM at all.
