Hi,

I have been developing web applications. Now I have got a task to implement
an application to simulate an exam. I'm thus thinking to make it a windows
Forms app. as one of the requirements could be to stop students from using
any other application on the computer.

How can I stop students from running any other application while they are
using this application?

Thnx
 
That is not likely to happen. You can run the browser in Kiosk mode, but
that doesn't prevent certain key combinations from getting past it. CTRL-W,
for example, will close the browser.

Hi,

Thanks for your response.

I'm not looking for something where many students can use the same machine
without *de-stablizing* the machine.

I'm looking for a solutoin where if the user starts exam application, he/she
will not be able to use other applications, unless he/she closes the exam
application. Just to avoid them using Messenger, Documents or other helpful
material while taking the exam.

??? Please don't tell me , it can't be done.
 
You didn't read much on the web site about Steady State. It is the solution
you are looking for.
