You don't need to prevent CMD+TAB, you need to prevent running other

That's too easy! HA! (smile)
but what about cmd-option-esc? (I am unable to trap this)
could invoke the Force Quit Applications; user quits Rev and is back up in
the Finder...
On the other hand, we are not really expecting any super hackers
I'm just trying to get noisy kids from trying to do stuff while Mom
is off talking with someone...I'm not sure how many will even
know about cmd-option-esc.
Other suggestions were good too. we can restrict user priviliges,
the gateway to the internet can lock the user out from everything
but very specific sites...

Looks like we have some fun-interesting dev ahead of us

the best tool.
I have some basic questions
This will run on a little white 13 Powerbook - Mac OSX
How do you lock up the machine such that once you boot
the Rev app, which will be set to take over the whole screen,
no one can do anything else but interact with your app.
i.e. a savvy use could hit cmd-tab, call up all running apps
and choose the finder, hide your app and there she is, face
to face with the finder-entire-machine and not your app.
Then of course we need a way for admin to click on something
and then be granted access to the whole box again.
The latter could be done easily enough by having a place to click that
asks for a password.
But preventing Command-Tab from bringing up the switcher is something I
don't know how to do. Trapping commandKeyDown doesn't let you prevent
the OS from grabbing it first.
This may require an external to tap into the OS event loop.
Please let us know what you come up with.
