This msdn article — http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb219746(VS.85).aspx#Disabling_Accessibility_Shortcut_Keys — provides information for C++ programmers on how to temporarily disable the windows shortcuts for accessibility (such as holding Shift for 8 seconds, or pressing Shift more than 5 times in quick succession).

Surely there’s some easy way to do this in C#, but I can’t find any resources on this. I’m using DirectInput in a non-fullscreen application.

All I want to do is not have the annoying popups come up; I’d prefer something that doesn’t have to muck with the windows settings, though, just in case the application shuts down in a non-graceful manner (I’d prefer not to have the user’s settings be permanently altered in those situations).

Any thoughts?

  1. You will have to do the same thing that is done in the link you reference. The SystemParametersInfo API function can be called through the P/Invoke layer and you can find the definition here:
