An Idea: Logout from server.

[Donnelly, Mark J.]

Hey:

How about as a kludge you send the necessary keystrokes... VNC is already
set up to do that, so you would only have to code up a dialog for the server
(accessible off the settings dialog) which specifies the key sequence to
execute.

For example, the key sequence on my NTWS would be C-A-D, followed by a
return (I have the Novell integration, and I can't remember if that changed
the sequence or not).  So, when the VNC Server gets a disconnect, it would
then send the locally-saved sequence to initiate a station lock.

Other than that, the only references (other than LockWorkStation, the NT5
function) that I found in MSDN regarding locking a workstation are in the
GINA stuff (replacing WinLogon) in MSDN under:

Specifications -> Windows NT Security: Replacable Winlogin user interface

If you want to invoke a screensaver and call it fine (I'm not sure if this
will work though), you can issue a WM_SYSCOMMAND with a wParam of
SC_SCREENSAVE, and DefWndProc should hopefully take care of it for you.

Hope some of this helps,

I haven't found any way of locking the workstation on WinNT 4 as yet.  NT5
will have a function to do it, according to the docs.

So option 1 isn't likely to be implemented any time soon, unless someone
knows a good way of doing it - anyone know how locked screen-savers work?
