Keys Not in use in my game - those I select

[Arie]

Hi, Guys!

I have an interesting question to ask you:

I want that with in my game the user can't press some key that
I choose such as the Print Screen key...
How can I cancel it?

If any questions, ask...

Thank you,
Arie.

well if your program in running in exclusive mode in DX that would be no problem. if you are doing something else I think you could archieve the same through subclassing, but than there would be tools like powersnap that could still easily get a screenshot even if you disabled the printscreen button. (I know you didn't say that you wanted to disable screenshots... just figured...)

KEyboard hook from MSDN:

This lets you trap every keystroek and decide whether to pass it on to the system or not.
