Re: LiveCode external/plugin question
Hi William, last year I've done a museum project where I had to put pc's into kiosk mode. Unfortunately the rawKeyDown approach didn't work since you can't capture key combinations like CTRL-ALT-DEL etc. The only way I could find was changing the registry. On the other hand, I seem to remember that Director offers an option to run applications in true kiosk mode. So what you are looking for should be possible in some way or another.

So rawKeyDown won't work. -- Jacqueline Landman Gay | jac...@hyperactivesw.com HyperActive Software | http://www.hyperactivesw.com ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
LiveCode external/plugin question
Hi there, I wonder if there is a external/plugin for LiveCode that gives Apps on Windows a kiosk style/mode? And I mean true kiosk so ALTF4, CTRLALTDEL and the Windows Keys are disabled. Any advise is welcome. (maybe an idea for a developer and make is a paid external?) greetings, William ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
Re: LiveCode external/plugin question
William, at http://www.northcode.com/blog.php/2007/07/25/Securing-Windows-For-Use-As-A-Kiosk you find information how to solve this by modifying the registry. I used that for XP some time ago. But i do not know, if this works with Windows Vista/7 also. Maybe this helps.

Hi William, As an easy alternative to Matthias' solution, you could run your stack as a revlet in Internet Explorer and start IE in kiosk mode http://support.microsoft.com/kb/154780 -- Best regards, Mark Schonewille Economy-x-Talk Consulting and Software Engineering Homepage: http://economy-x-talk.com Twitter: http://twitter.com/xtalkprogrammer KvK: 50277553 Download the Installer Maker plugin for Runtime Revolution at http://qurl.tk/ce Create installers for Mac and Windows on *every* Rev-compatible platform.
