how can i disable the "Windows" button
when my game is on?

while my game is on
exccept my gaming buttons(say arrow buttons)
all other buttons (Windows,
Windows+E,Ctrl+Alt+Del)

shold not function at all

how can i achieve this ?

;=============================
some one gave me the below code:

HWND hTrayWnd = FindWindow("Shell_TrayWnd","")
HWND hStartWnd = GetTopWindow(hTrayWnd)

//Disable start button
EnableWindow(hStartWnd, FALSE)

//Remember to enable it when done:-
EnableWindow(hStartWnd, TRUE)

P.S. If you havent realised, you can use userlibs with the above WinAPI commands in Blitz to acheive the same!
;====================


can anyone pliz tell me how to use this in my game?
(for i never used userlibs and i dont know how to use)

(is there any other simple way?)

Right, look in your "%BLITZPLUS_ROOT%/userlibs" folder for a file called userlibs.txt

Read it! :)

Then, look here for an example of using them:-
