Hi,

I would like to prevent an action from pressing both Windows Keys (it means 
I want to disable these keys). I wrote this code :

void __fastcall TFRM_MAIN::ApplicationEvents1Message(tagMSG &Msg,
      bool &Handled)

{
if (Msg.message == WM_KEYDOWN)
  if (Msg.wParam == VK_LWIN || Msg.wParam == VK_RWIN)
    {
    Handled = true;
    ShowMessage("It works !");
    }
}

However it is usless. The application message is catched, but AFTER the 
event. I see the dialogbox ("It works!"), but I see my windows' START menu 
as well.

What is wrong?
