4. Click Apply.

Example: Prevent unauthorized users from stopping the
application

To prevent unauthorized users from stopping the application

Do not use a title bar on the application window, because the title bar contains a Close
button. To turn off the title bar for the application window, in the Project Settings
editor, in the Runtime tab, clear the Title bar check box.

For more information about using the Project Settings editor, see Chapter 4.

Assign visibility animation to the shutdown button, so that the button is only visible
when a user who is authorized to stop the application is logged in. For an example, see
page 11-16.

Or, set up security for the graphic display, in which the shutdown button is located, so
only users who are authorized to stop the application can open the display.

Additional step for personal computers

Use the DeskLock tool to prevent users from having access to the Windows desktop.
This will prevent access to operating system functions such as restarting Windows or
shutting down tasks. For more information, see page 15-17.

Additional step for PanelView Plus CE applications

Hide the Windows Taskbar to make it inaccessible.

To hide the Windows Taskbar

1. From the Windows Start menu select Settings> Taskbar.

2. Clear the Always on top check box.

3. Select Auto hide.

4. When you are finished, click OK.

5. At the Command prompt or in the Run box, run Regflush.exe to save your changes

to persistent internal flash memory. Otherwise, the changes will be lost when you
reboot.
