How can I detect Ctrl-Alt-Del either before or aft

问题:

I need to initialize a variable when the user presses Ctrl-Alt-Del. Because this key combination is treated differently than others, the Windows Security Dialog Box appears immediately after it is pressed and my program can not detect whether it is pressed.

I tried adding the code below to the KeyDown event, but it does not work.

     if ( (Keyboard.Modifiers == (ModifierKeys.Control | ModifierKeys.Alt)) && Keyboard.IsKeyDown(Key.Delete))
     {
         // Initialize a variable
     }

If it is possible, how can I detect this key combination before the OS detects it? If not, how can I detect it after the OS?

回答1:

In short, you can't.

回答2:

Even if you can, you should not, as changing the meaning of Ctrl-Alt-Del would confuse users.

I hope it is not possible to-do without replacing keyboard drivers etc, as otherwise an application could make it impossible for the user to get to the task manager to kill the application.
