Disabling Ctrl Key?

[Eambo]

Hi Everyone! :-)

A little background on my project:

- I'm writing a fairly simple program to autoopen Internet Explorer in Kiosk mode, and sticking them into this window. So far I've disabled just about anything that can get you out of this. The last hurdle I'm facing is CTRL+N and CTRL+T (new window, new tab).

Is there a way to use Autoit to stop these functions from occuring? I was thinking some way of capturing ctrl and either:

- Disabling it

- Capturing and stopping it

- Capturing it and disabling N and T for a few seconds

Any advice would be very much appreciated :-)

I feel we've Anyway,

HotKeySet("^n", "_HawkingHole")
HotKeySet("^t", "_HawkingHole")
HotKeySet("!{F4}", "_HawkingHole") ; Alt F4, good idea? Y/N

While 1
    Sleep(500)
WEnd

Func _HawkingHole()
    ;0/0
EndFunc

The ;0/0 comment is a special way to tell AutoIt that nothing in the function should be executed.

Thank you very much for the response. Just so I'm clear, does the ^ mean anything preceding this? Eg: ^n means "if *something* plus n are pressed, do nothing?

Yes, the ^ means what is described here: http://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/docs/functions/Send.htm . Look for ^.

Brilliant, this functions exactly as I wanted. Thanks again for your time, and sorry for not digging deep enough :-(

No problem. I rather tell you where to find the appropriate information instead of telling you how it works directly.

And by the way, the remark about ;0/0 was a joke.
