Restricting use of Ctrl.

[Marty L. Williams]

Is there a way to restrict the use of control keys, especially ctrl-.,
in a LabView environment? The versions I'm most interested in are 5.1
and 6.1.

What I'd like to be able to do is tie control key usage to a given
access level, either in the LabView environment with something I program
or on a Window's user basis.

Hi Marty,

The "ctrl ." is a short cut for the abort button. hide the Abort button under (in LV 6.1)

VI Properties>>>Windows Appearance>>>Customize>>>Show Abort Button

This property can also be manipulated programaticaly in LV 6.1 using a property node configured for

TB.ShowAbortBut

This will allow you to allow this operation for privledged users.

The same VI setting is available in LV 5.1 but I do not remeber if it could be manipulated programaticly.

Trying to help,

Ben
