Hey there,

I'm writing a java application which needs to lock access to the computer, I managed to do this on a PC by creating an 'always on top' window and then disabling ctrl+alt+del and alt+tab, so the user couldn't shut the application down. I'm a bit of a newbie when it comes to developing on a mac (I like what i see so far though) so any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers

You can do this with CoreGraphics, but that's a C API so you'll probably have to use JNI if you want to call it from Java. Yuck.

Cheers, do you know any good resources for this?

The headers.

I've found that the headers are just about the best documentation available for all the frameworks. The upside: you know there is nothing more to it. The downside: some functions you are expected to understand just by their names.

Actually come to think of it, I might have seen a technote or q&a on Direct Display.
