Disable Close Button

[hypercube1]

I am making a screensave application that requires a password to exit and resume
using the computer but right now you can just close it making it useless...
Also i was wondering how to make the console window fullscreen...

Any suggestions

Also, if it matters, i'm using 32bit vista and the dev c++ IDE

Sounds like u already got some code... wanna show it?...

how are u doing it?... look at ur window class... there are options and in the event handler methods u can decide what happens...

but u still need to ensure disabling chance to shoot your application via the task manager...

//"pass" is the password

using namespace std;

int main()

 int correct, menu;

 //For screensaver and wrong password
 loop:;
 
 //Prompt for password
 printf("What is your password? : ");
 cin >> input;

 //display menu if correct
 if (correct==0)
 {
  printf("Welcome\n");
  printf("1 would you like to open Aerofighter\n");
  printf("2                     or Mage\n");

  cin >> menu;
  switch (menu){
  case 1: system("AeroFighter.exe");//keep these in same folder as this exe
  case 2: system("Mage_NoAudio.exe");
  case 3: system("cls"); goto loop;
  case 4: return 0; 
  }
 }
 else //if incorrect password
 {
  goto loop;
 }
 return 0;
}

thats it

its imposible in the console, I think... you need a graphics library for that or you could just select prompt for password after stanby or something like that from properties

hmm... I don't have time to read all of it with school and other foolish whatnot but it does look interesting and useful thanx

and csiz i think (hope) you can modify any window

How can you instruct the computer if you don't know what to do?

[hypercube1]

well i'm asking here because i don't know what to do... if i'm understanding you even almost correctly.
