LOCKED or UNLOCKED.

Is there a simple solution to detect the state of windows concerning it being locked or unlocked without using keyboard hooks and other more complicated methods i dont understand yet? (read VB newb) :wave:

Here's a solution I found on google:

I have viewd this one already, and the writer included a bunch of key stroke hooks to capture other events thus confusing what im looking at.

IS there not a method to just look at the state of a pc?? Locked or unlocked?

With "windows" are you refering to forms?

Or are you refering to the operating system "Microsoft Windows" being locked so that the user needs to fill in a password to continue working on it?

NO, I was reffering to the Operating system itself.
