I have a new application where all the user input are via buttons on a form via a touch screen, No mouse no keyboard.
The application is to enter racing details by the club member via a touch screen (big buttons).
How can I only display the one entry form on a screen without any other system functions such desktop, etc. and prevent the user from performing any other Microsoft function.
TIA

Chris,
Few things spring to mind:
[list]
Remove as much of the window chrome as possible - i.e. no caption, thin border
Maximize it on CREATE, or adjust it's size to cover the entire desktop (use the SYSTEM SIZE property)
Ensure you set the WS_EX_TOPMOST style bit using the STYLE_EX property or the Raw Styles editor in the form designer ( equ WS_EX_TOPMOST$ to 0x00000008 )
[/list]
If there's no other mouse or keyboard then the user can't invoke the other desktop functions like seeing the taskbar, right clicking and so on.
