colombeen Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 (edited) Hi guys I want to add this command to my GUI : SystemParametersInfo(SPI_SCREENSAVERRUNNING,true,(void*)&old,0); this should tell windows that it is a password protected screensaver and that the default ways to close the app aren't available. the problem is that when i execute the function i get a message saying that SPI_SCREENSAVERRUNNING, void and old isn't a function also tried the _WinAPI_SystemParametersInfo (SPI_SCREENSAVERRUNNING,True,(void*)&old,0) but this also throws errors anyone who knows how to change this code into a usable version for my script? I found that code here : and some info here : http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms724947%28VS.85%29.aspx FYI, i'm creating an app in a kiosk-like mode but the user shouldn't be able to close it, they can only see my autoit app and that app will provide them with a browser that will close after an hour until the next person "logs in" on the autoit app. (wouldn't want you guys to think i'm creating a scam-app or something) Hope someone can help Edit: An example (I've tried it like this but this doesn't work) expandcollapse popup; Includes #include <IE.au3> #include <WinAPI.au3> #include <WindowsConstants.au3> ; Vars $AppTitle = "DTP Kiosk" $AppDefaultURL = "http://www.google.com" $AppExitPwd = "test" $AppExitMsg = "Provide the password to close " & @CRLF & $AppTitle ; Disable Hotkeys HotKeySet ("{ESC}", "_DoNothing") ; Show InputBox with password question to exit the app HotKeySet ("!{F4}", "_Exit") HotKeySet ("^{F8}", "_Exit") ; GUI $FS_Window = GUICreate ($AppTitle, @DesktopWidth, @DesktopHeight, 0, 0, $WS_POPUP) GUISetState (@SW_SHOW, $FS_Window) ; Need this to work to disable default hotkeys like ctrl+alt+del, crtl+esc, alt+tab, ... _WinAPI_SystemParametersInfo (97,True,0,0) Sleep (1000) $FS_IE_Window = _IECreate ($AppDefaultURL) _IEPropertySet ($FS_IE_Window, "theatermode", True) ; Keep the GUI open While 1 Sleep (1000) WEnd ; Functions Func _Exit () $ExitPhrase = InputBox ($AppTitle, $AppExitMsg, "", "*", -1, -1, Default, Default, 30, $FS_Window) If $ExitPhrase = $AppExitPwd Then ProcessClose ("iexplore.exe") Exit _WinAPI_SystemParametersInfo (97,False,0,0) EndIf EndFunc Func _DoNothing () EndFunc Hope this helps... Like this you can only close the app when you press ctrl+F8 and provide the password from the $AppExitPwd var Edited October 29, 2014 by colombeen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zedna Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 (edited) Try something like this: $tb = DllStructCreate('int') DllStructSetData($tb,1,1) _WinAPI_SystemParametersInfo(97, 1, DllStructGetPtr($tb), 0) Edited October 30, 2014 by Zedna Resources UDF ResourcesEx UDF AutoIt Forum Search Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
