Kiosk Mode
Hello,
I want to lock the screen of my patch interface so that the user cannot close the window, minimise or maximise it. I will be installing my piece in a festival space and it will be running all day. Due to my previous experience people used to close the patch window or the runtime panel when they left the installation space. It is very annoying as I will not be able to "police" my space 247. Is there any way of locking it?
Many Thanks

Do you need a mouse and keyboard to interact with it?

I think, depending on your OS, you can get programs that turn any window into 'kiosk' mode.
Use thispatcher, set window flags to noclose, nogrow. You could also consider the full screen mode (see the thispatcher help file).
The interactor uses the mouse to opperate the patch.It is a simple three button patch for switch on - record - switch off. My OS is Windows XP. I will try to use the thispatcher option and I will get back to you. Thanks very much for replying.
If you only need the mouse then you should be ok.
Put the patch into fullscreen mode, noclose, and unhook the keyboard.

It works fine. Thank you very much. I have set the window flags to nogrow, noclose. Many thanks.
