[arunglobal]

Hi Pals,

I am n need to Block Print screen button in my web application client side (ASP.Net)

iam using the below script to Block CTRL keys.but unable to trap "Print Scrn"

/*Controls the CTRL keys*/
function keyWhat(e)
{
if (window.event.ctrlKey)
{
window.event.cancelBubble = true;
window.event.returnValue = false;
return false;
}
}
document.onkeydown=keyWhat;

You cannot do this client-side with JavaScript. You can detect it with the following code, but you cannot block it:

document.onkeyup = function(eventData) {
	eventData = (eventData) ? eventData : event;
	if (eventData.keyCode == 44) {
		// do stuff here
	}
}

Hope this helps,
Dan

Hi TQ
My ultimate aim is to STOP taking screen shots of my web application.(ASP.Net)

If we do some stuff in code behind then SCREEN SHOTS are possible while the page is in OFFLINE (Offline content).

Any Idea

You're wasting your time. If you block PrtSc and someone wants a screen shot anyway, there are dozen of screen capture programs that will let you define virtually any key combination to activate them. You can't block ALL keystrokes.

Absolutely. Give up now - you will NOT be able to stop people from stealing graphics from your website.

Even professional solutions that claim to do this cannot stop all ways.

Hi Pals,

Tq for the Nce replies and Suggestions.

But my Web Application is not a Commercial one.
This is Particularly for Internal offcial purpose of Confidential things.(act like a Intranet application)

so no screen capturing software can bee installed in the machines (Office machines).

So now its required to stop taking print screens by the employees on the confidential datas...

any suggestions plz

You have now been told twice that what you are wanting to do is not possible via JavaScript.

The only way you will be able to stop Print Screen is with a "real" application.

To reiterate: YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO DO THIS WITH JAVASCRIPT. GIVE UP TRYING NOW.
