A Login Screen

[=?Utf-8?B?anAybXNmdA==?=]

We have public PCs out on the production floor that stay logged in using a
public account.

If someone needs to access sensitive information, we want a login screen to
pull up that authenticates them across Active Directory using their username
and password.

Authenticating the individuals is already done. What we'd like is to be able
to use one of Windows' Login forms like we use their MessageBoxes.

Is this an option? Can we call a Windows Login form to use to log our
employees into Active Directory? Is there something better?

Yes, I can easily create my own form, but I'd rather stick with the Windows
"look and feel."

If I can not, does anyone know where I can get the specs that Microsoft uses
for their login form? (like: What size is it? Where are the OK and Cancel
buttons located? etc.)

Thanks!

Actually, your rant doesn't seem to be relevant to C# at all.

To answer your question, though: Learning how to call the Windows Login Form
and use it to verify the credentials of our employees in the company's
application is very relevant.

I have a form that we are using now (while still in the Beta stage), but
management specifically mentioned a form "like the Windows Login" so
employees are more familiar with the interface's intention.

Oh heck Joe, if you want to snatch username/password pairs most users won't
notice slight variations in size/placement/etc. Give them a couple of text
boxes and they will gladly type in their credentials, especially when they
are busy at work...My guess is 60% wouldn't even notice (or care) if the
password field isn't masked (******). Then, of course, there are those in
the minority that will still want to press CTRL+ALT+DEL before login and
reveal your little ploy. :)

If the information is that sensitive, just make them log on in the correct
way and save yourself some headaches later...How is this relevant to C#
again?
