    unless you provide specific functionality for the F# keys in your application, pressing them will have no effect. or... do you want to globally disable them? like no other running application would be able to intercept them?
    there are 2 reasons why i leave my work unfinished:

    Heres the dillio (dillio?)

    The F keys dont do anything unless you assign them a command. Locally that is (localy is for a certain program/application) If you want to disable them globally (globally as in publicly, no program or appliction will be able to read them!). Once you figure out what you want to do go to the API forums and post there. You can only disable the keys using API code.

    Note: Just disabling the F keys might not disable their metabinds!

    by 'globally' i meant if you want to make the whole windows environment not react to the F# keys, but i understand this is not your goal anyway. sorry if i confused you.

    did you wrote the game that youre talking about or is it something that you got from elsewhere. if the game is somebody else's code, i can see no other chance than going in the API and trying to do something there, but i wouldnt know where to point you for that.

    sorry i should have said. the game is Rogue Spear: Black Thorn.

    and it has cheats that are activated by pressing certain F# keys. that's why i wanted to see if it was possible to disable them. i will have to go learn aboutthis API stuff you guys are talking about. but thanks for your help.

    perhaps...when pigs fly lol. No, all I hack is Counter-Strike not Rainbow 6..or any other game for that matter. Hacking is more fun than anti-hacking(as I call it). More challenges come up and Hackers always win

    Like in your situation, id just change the hacks/cheats call keys. from like F3 to some metabind e.g. alt+H+End or something...
