Blocking the Alt button

[Patrick De Ridder]

Hi,
Could someone please tell me how to block the Alt button from being used?
And how to unblock it again when exiting the application?
Many thanks,
Patrick

You can write a key event handler to "ignore" the ALT key.

Re: Blocking the Alt button

Hi Christian,

if(e.KeyChar == (char) 56)
e.Handled = true;

doesn't do the trick.

What is wrong?

Patrick.
