Good day.
I have a program thats launches an external application. That external app has a right click sub menu on it which I need to disable. Is it possible (without modifying the external app) to disable the right click? Maybe permission or group policies and etc.
Thanks.
I wasn't sure I wanted to post as I don't have a huge amount of scope on the matter, but it's definatley possible. If you have a handle to the application (if not you can get one) you can use that to disable right click within the application.

seems like the most helpful links, it just goes on about how you should hook and then disregard WM_RBUTTONDOWN and WM_RBUTTONUP.
I'll try and write up a better thing later with an example.

This link could be useful as it explains that you're going to need to use unmanaged c/c++ to hook using setWindowsHookEx.

Hope this helps
[EDIT]
I think this can actually be done in a C# application completely. I will post a solution tonight
[/EDIT]
I know a brutal solution for Windows. Make a hook on mouse and filter all messages, going to the external program window. It can slow down a whole system a little though.
It's not that comlicated. Here's a tutorial: http://win32assembly.online.fr/tut24.html Nevermind assembler, it works the same way in any language.
