Invoking the Windows Security Dialog (in C# or VB.NET)

Question

I would like to know how to invoke the Windows Security Dialog (press ctrl+alt+del on a windows workstation NOTE: I don\'t want the task manager!) programmatically.

Answer 1

I would imagine something like this, get the handle of the desktop, using 'GetDesktopWindow', make sure the focus is set to the handle, and Send a keystroke 'Ctrl+Alt+Del' using 'SendInput' or use the 'SendMessage' to send the keystrokes to that handle returned by GetDesktopWindow. It is not guaranteed to work as that is top-off-my-head.

Hope this helps, Best regards, Tom.
