How to block CTRL+ESC to open Start Menu

[hafizfarooq]

Hello,
If we press Crtl+Esc , Start menu appears OR there are many keyboards having a button between CTRL and ALT which open Start Menu.

I want that when i run my porject press Ctrl+Esc or button between CTRL and ALT , my menu appear instead of Windows.

Actually i have designed my software Desktop like windows desktop having the same start button on the actual Start button place.

Please help me.

Perhaps there is some way - that's NOT the point... You should design your application so it will not interfere with Windows.

Ctrl + Esc is an odd sortcut for an app. you shuld try making a more command shortcut. Perhaps you shuld make a shortcut that doesn't interfere with other apps shortcut as well as windows.

I think he want's to have a custom menu like windows with his own shortcuts ect... with special features, this would be a handy program and would be good for people that want to skin it. Sorry I don't have a answer for this one but I found this exapmle which you might be able to use

i just tested with sortcut keys and unless you diable windows shortcut YOU CAN'T

KeyCode:
vbKeyEscape = Escape Key
vbKeyControl = Control Key
KeyAscii:
27 = Escape Key

I don't think it's possible, either.

In a previous thread of mine, Hack gave me this link. It allows you to block Ctrl-Esc, Alt-Esc and Alt-Tab, so that Window's menu won't show

Might be of some help
