Does anyone know how to block exposé events? I am involved in the development of a game that uses screen corners and fkeys for input, so having those things also trigger exposé is quite troublesome.

Thanks in advance.

Could you edit the Expose prefs plist when you launch and change it back to its original state when you quit or get switched out?

This is an evil thing to do. If somebody force-quits your app, they'll have to reset their Exposé prefs all over again.

I think that Angus_D has things right. If you capture the screen completely you won't have to worry about input going to any other processes. Apple has a mode specifically for this. If memory serves you get a drawing context without a window.
