Im obviously a 'Stone age' developer. I automatically thought pen and
paper, seems like everyone else automatically thought of phone cam!
I think I'll go back to coding my latest Abacus :)

Can't you get software that records everything that is printed to the
screen as a movie? So they could get it that way? Like if they really
wanted it? People used to use it for recording themselves playing
computer games before there were action replays. And for writing demo
movies and stuff. So you turn it on, and then open up your software?
I just did a google for "screenshot movies" and came back with FrontCam
as the first result. Looks like they could use that easy enough.

Display the confidential info, then trap ANY mouse move or key press.
You'd have to get in front of these events (on before mouse move, on
before key press) and clear the confidential info (which could include a
comment at the end of it - "This message will self-destruct on any
keyboard or mouse activity". :-)
I'm sure there's still a way around that, but it might be harder.

There are still tools such as SnagIt that can copy anything on the
screen as a bitmap, even the online e-Books, and I imagine you could
feed them through OCR to get the text.

Check out the keyboard hook facility in the Windows API, as you may be
able to disable the printscreen button (or any other key combination)
while your app has focus.
I've seen it done by the people who have online e-Books, where you can
read the book onscreen, but not print or copy it in any way.

Is there a way to display confidential information on a screen in
such a way
that it can be seen but cannot be copied - eg via copy and paste.
For instance putting text in labels does not allow normal select
and copy,
but one can still do a printscreen and capture the screen as an
image.
The only way I have thought of is to put text in a pop-up hint, as
these
normally disappear when a key such as printscreen is pressed. It is
not
however that easy to put many lines of text in a hint.
Any suggestions?
