    Is there a way to catch the Ctrl+Alt+Del press and have it do something else at the same time preventing the Close program windoe from opening?

    I see lots of code to prevent a Ctrl+Alt+Delete keypresses but those codes disable tohe keys all together.
    I want to be able to allow my app to trap the ctrl+Alt+Del press to trigger a certain function within my app and prevent the Ctrl+Alt+Delete from triggering Window's "Close Program" window.

    So in other words I want to allow the key presses and have my program see them, but I only want to disallow Windows from seeing the key press...haw can this be acheived?
    I appreciate all of your time and effort,

    appearently this is a tough one for even the "Gurus" or it is impossible to achieve.

    It's ok even "YOU" can be stumped... :-)

    Hmmm

    You could always get Windows NT

    Seriously though this is tough, I think you would have to trap all keyevents and handle then pass them on to the default handler.

    I know this isn't much help but yuo might try searching around for topics like keyboard re-mapping...

    Hope it helps,

    Cheers,

    Paul.
