    Cool need help with Qbasic program

    Hi, can anyone help me out with this problem

    I need to make it so a program is unexitable untill it has finished eg. disabled ctrl, alt, del etc.

    also is there anyway of making a progress bar or something that looks like a progress bar move

    eg |||||||||||||||| then |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
    or similar

    any help would be great, thanks

    Impossible

    I do not think it is possible to disable Ctrl-Alt-DEl in QB-Code. Maybe you could by directly writing to keyboard memory(its over my head)

    I believe that someone HAS written a program for just that purpose. I think I saw one at www.qbasic.com, you might want to look there. Even if they don't have one (I haven't looked at that site for quite some time.) they have other useful and humorous programs. They also have a decent collection of games.

    EDIT: The program I was thinking about disables <Ctrl>-<Break>, not <ctrl>-<alt>-<delete>. Click here to go directly to the list containing it.

    Technically, it could probably be done using an interrupt; just catch the keyboard in an exception when the interrupt fires (just like mouse handling) and overwrite the data sent to the BIOS in the keyboard buffer before it gets there... I think.
