I need the ability to disable the keyboard shortcuts in IE... Most of our
users will use Internet Explorer to run our computer-based training
session/simulations and the simulations use some of the same keyboard
shortcuts that IE uses. Is there a way to disable those shortcuts in IE?
Where we could add code to disable them for our product or where the user
could disable them from an Options window? This seems like a helpful
enhancement anyway as I've seen this question posted on other forums. Thanks
for any help. K

Hi kd,

Not that I know of.

The web page accelerators (accesskey=) will over-ride the IE menu
accelerators when the page has focus.

Most online training apps I have seen use ActiveX controls. They could
possibly not be receiving focus when the page is loaded. Older machines may
also still have the old "Click to Activate this control" present.

Regards.

Figure out how Adobe does it? <eg>
(E.g. try and get out of Fullscreen mode when viewing a .pdf file.)

yeah, we are using an Adobe product, Captivate... No one in the Captivate
forum knows how to make it work either...
