Hi All,

I am making an online examination appplication. I want to restrict the user from shifting the focus from application screen to any other window or application by shortcut-keys like ALT+TAB, window key etc.
How can I do so? I am not able to find any way out?
Please help me out in this..

Thanks,
Nidhi

you can not really defeat this. What about the minimize buttons, window-d, clicking on items in the task bar, etc.

I truly hope a way to do this never appears. Think how annoying unwanted spam/porn pop-up windows would be!

There are enough security holes around all ready without making it even easier for the dregs of the internet society to make your surfing miserable.
