full screen application

24
i would like to create a full screen c# application, that will prevent the user from using the windows start menu or loading any other application. ie i want to prevent the user from using any other application but this one, while it is running, since the application will be running on a publicly accessible computer. i do not want users to stay running other programs on the computer but the one i will be writing!

how can this be done?

thanks

There was another thread on this same topic like a month back and I'm not sure we came up with any workable solutions.

I know it's done because (and I made the same example) Borders does this very same thing with their computers that you use to search.

Best I can offer is setting window to always on top and trapping all keypresses (and stopping certain combinations)

I think you are going to have to use DLLImport on some native win32 functions, but I couldn't tell you which ones.

It sounds like you're trying to make a Kiosk and software like Provisio SiteKiosk could do this at an affordable price. Just a thought; it worked for one of my clients.
