Hi!

I'm writing an application that runs in a 'Full screen' mode. I do not
want any other windows (as well as the desktop) to be accessible while
my application is running.

My problem is that when I press for example a key 'Windows left logo'
(with keyboard scan code 91) my app looses focus and Windows menu
'Start' opens.

Is there any way to prevent such a behaviour so that as long as the
application is running pressing that key does not cause Windows menu
'Start' to appear?

Thank you for your help!
Sylvia, beginner.
 
It's possible to do that by writing a keyboard hook that captures that
keycode and swallows it. I don't know if there are any easier methods.
