Does anyone know if it's possible to disable the windows keys whilst my game is running? Has anyone already done this?

There was a thread somewhere about changing/maintaining the 'focus' of windows to a particular window.

COmbined with , say,

Graphics 800,600,16,1

While Not MouseDown(1)

If KeyDown(219) Or KeyDown(220) Then

Applyfocus(window)

FlushKeys

Wend

End


should mean that window key interruptions are mostly ignored.
