Hi,
Disable chars in windows 8 for our Kiosk style framework.
I have read that many recommended to use Windows 8 embedded but this is not an option for us. Our clients are inquiring tablets, all in one touch screens and touchscreen with laptop that use our platform to put in events. The issue here is that previously our app was able to control what was running (top most, windows XP and 7) and was the ONLY app running but now with Charms in windows 8 it is impossible to control because of charms. We have not migrated to Metro Style yet as our Framework is very big.
Our clients later use the same tablets for Office operations so they have DUAL purpose because it also helps justify the investment.
SO you can see now with Windows 8, the solution is placed in events that are public and they DON'T want the users of the platform to leave and use something else, like IE, Skype, Etc.
So we need a way to get our app to be the only one running when it is executed and have no ability to leave it unless it is by the exit on the app (controlled exit with password). All pour clients are acquiring the new windows 8 tablets as we have recommended it but now we have this big problem...
We really need help...
Kind Regards
Lucas Sain
