IDEA: WinCovers
mouser:
i can see how that would be useful for teaching students..
Uncle John:
If I remember correctly, programmers I've talked to in the past suggest that the Windows API won't allow for this sort functionality.
I don't know that much about the Windows API but I can't see why each rectangular "WinCover" couldn't be a blank "Window" object. This would prevent the button underneath being clicked.
Is there a flaw in my logic? :tellme:
nite_monkey:

Uncle John:
It's more like, "OK, lets add a 10 Ohm resistor to the string and see how that effects things". Meanwhile half your class of 12 students are distracted with all sorts of other things such as personalizing their desktop background, screensavers, email etc, etc.
I can use the XP shared computer toolkit ( http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/sharedaccess/default.mspx , http://www.tweakxp.com/Article37921.aspx ) to address a lot of these distractions but it doesn't address the operation of controls at the application level. ;)

:Thmbsup: Wow, "CutAway" seems to have the potential to achieve the desired results if it can be made to work reliably.
