What I've done in the past is to cover all screens with a floating borderless window.

Hi All,

How can I lock user screen (using cocoa+objC) that just a quote appears at
screen and user can not use their machine until my software unlocks the
screen.




You might find it rude but that is required as we are developing a training
room software and the trainer should we able to lock all student screens so
that student can just concentrate on trainingroom black/whiteboard.




Lanuching user machine screen saver wont do as the students might unlock the
screen saver by entering password. Is there a way that I can create a
screen saver with a random password (not known to students).




Thanks in advance.
