Locking form

[myrea]

Guyz

I want to lock my form when I go out of the office, so that no one can my application. How can I make my application lock and show another form with a password input. I experiment it by disabling form1.enable = false then show a login form. Is that correct? I need advice from the expert. How can I disable the close button in the login form?

Another question: Can I remove my form1 or application in the end task??

Thanks

wow just a few weeks ago i created a lock down screen hoping your using windows xp , i'll give you the link to the full source code make sure you find the password in the code an change it , try mixing this and your application together ot just simply compile and use it, Link is:

Nothing can get past my lock down screen, also if you do not want it to start up when windows loads in the the code delete

REGSaveSetting vHKEY_CURRENT_USER, "Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run", "LoGonWindow", App.Path & "\" & App.EXEName & ".exe"

Hope this helps

myrea,

I am assuming you want to let other users use the computer while you're away just not your app.

You could hide the main form (form1.Hide) then show it again after sucessful login (form1.Show).

Instead of putting up the login screen you could use a task tray icon. When the user clicks on the icon he gets the login window.

This way you won't have to worry about what happens if he closes the login window because you can bring it up again from the task tray icon.

Thanks moeur but I want my application visible because I have "clock" there.

And I want everyone to see the clock and there time in because my

application is like a in a internet cafe with a time in and time out and I dont

want them to edit their time. Thanks.

Make KeyPreview for the form true. Trap all keypresses. If the user presses alt-Q (or whatever key you want for "unlock", turn off the trapping, otherwise return a 0. Maybe pop up a msgbox that tells them that the app is locked. (Turn trapping on with a command or by clicking on something people normally don't click on, like a picture.)
