I know my dad wrote programs for and with me when I was little.
Probably not when I was one though :)

Here's a different possible solution: get a different keyboard and find
a way to manually pull off/break the Windows and Tab keys! You can
probably get a cheap one, and that saves you from wear/spills/etc on
your main
I think that is probably the best option, though if you think about
it, the odds of her hitting the two keys simultaneously is pretty
slim. Think about the monkeys on the keyboard--if there are about 110
keys (21+21+21+17+17+12 on this keyboard) on a keyboard, then the odds
of her hitting ALT+TAB
Haha! Of course your theory does not take into account the proximity
of the keys to each other. I tried the empirical method and she found
key combinations in firefox I didn't even know existed. Young children
have a deviousness far beyond your average monkey.
Anyway the pyHook library worked

I've read these arguments elsewhere and fully agree with them, except
in this case. What I'm making is a program for my 1 year-old daughter
to bang on the keyboard and hear cool sounds and see colors change on
the screen. So I suppose ctrl-alt-delete isn't a big worry but the
windows key
Disabling the special keys on the operating-system level is going to be
much easier than disabling them on a pygame/SDL level.
What you are trying to do is fairly common, you are trying to create a
Kiosk application.
Since you have a registry hack, I suggest that you write two .reg
files,
I'm pretty sure if you set full screen mode and do checks to see if they
pressed ctrl+alt+del do nothing :)

I could be wrong here (I have not used Windows for years), but I thought
that the whole point of Ctrl Alt Delete to login was that this sequence
of keys could not be grabbed by anything other than the OS itself - it
is a 'secure channel' or something like that. My guess is that you will
not
The registry disabling would certainly be good except I think it only
works after a reboot :(
Apps I know that have done this install a Low Level keyboard hook
using SetWindowsHookEx, which lets you trap all keybaord events before
they get processed and block them (including system stuff).
pyHook looks to be the way to go. I just posted a recipe to the ASPN
cookbook that is basically the example Brian F. linked to above with a
few mods to block the windows key and alt-tab and use the pygame event
pump. No matter what you do pyHook won't block the ctrl-alt-del
combination which seems
doesn't that code block tab entirely? as opposed to just alt-tab?

Yep. That was the quick and dirty way.

I don't think so. Think about it. If your program were to crash
and lock up, the only way to stop it would be to restart the computer.
CTRL+ALT+DEL would start the task manager, but you would need ALT+TAB
to select it.
If you're making some sort of game where this is necessary, use a

Besides, it annoys me when a game has the audacity to
assume I won't want to do *anything* else with my
computer while it's running.
Hi all -
I'm trying to write a pygame program that takes full control of the
keyboard, disabling alt-tab/windows key type behavior on windows. In
full screen mode after calling pygame.event.set_grab(True) alt-tab
still switches programs. Is there a way to disable this?
Thanks,
