How do i block certain keys in Windows?
I am looking for code examples in order to prevent the start menu from popping up when one presses the window's key or any other key combination that i don't want going thru to windows.

Hi sorlus,
you can register system wide hotkey with virtual code the same as key you want to lock, and then do nonthig on WM_HOTKEY message.

thank you too :-)
it disables Alt+TAB and Ctrl+ESC keys.
var OldVal : Longint;
begin
SystemParametersInfo(97, Word(True), @OldVal, 0); //disable;
change Word(True) -> Word(False) to enable keys...
end;
hope this helps
best wishes
