Im looking for a way to take WINLIST(I) results from a initial run and compare them with a WINLIST(I) from a second run and return only the differences if any. Im making a screen saver for NT/2000 but I havent found a way to disable the WINKEY + R ,+S etc. Without disabling it in the registry. I believe the above mention way should work. If there is a difference then it would close the window not belonging to the initial WINLIST run. Any Ideas.

This should work for your first problem...

You should think of something to remove the empty lines yourself...

Check this example:

It's a file compare program that compares two lists,
the code should work for comparing WINLIST as well.

Oops... Sorry skit. You beat me to the post... Embarassed

I've had problems with @match() in loops though...

I posted a VDS screensaver here:

It works fine in Win95 (should in Win2k I think?). It explains
the parameters that Windows sends to the screensaver, and
has it's own settings window.

Thanks for the quick replys. I figured out the rest of the code but still not working like I want it to. I have taken a look at MAC screen saver and It does works great under NT/2000 but I need the WINKEYS disabled or all new windows closed if invoked by a keyboard shortcut. Another Idea I had was to suspend explorer.exe. That works but any keys that are pushed durring the suspend fills up the keyboard buffer and fires out as soon as explorer is unsuspended. Does anybody know how to clear the keyboard buffer or to redirect it?

Make 26 (or more) buttons with there names from A to Z and set a & before them... If the user presses a key there will be a ABUTTON (or Z) event, and then you can add the letter to a variable, %%text... You can send it with window send,@winontop(),%%text[/b]
