Start windows forms app after login and keep it modal until finished

Ronald Biemans 1

IHi all, I have the following requirement, I need to start my app after a user logs in, it does some checks if they registered their hours from the day before, if yes then close app if no present form where they can register their hours. All this I can ofcourse do, but how do I make it that they cannot do anything else unless they have registered their hours. Meaning they can not open any other program. Is this possible and if so how ?

Hi @Ronald Biemans ,
What have you tried so far? In order to better understand your needs, please provide some code and specific detailed problems encountered.
And what exactly is the registration time you are referring to？
Best Regards,

@Daniel Zhang-MSFT ,

Hi Daniel,

Thanks for replying, I don't think the code I have is relevant to the question.
It could basically be a 'Hello world' app.
But what I have is an app where people can register their hours worked, they type in a projectnumber and the number of hours they worked on it and some code with the type of work. I have added keys in the registry so it starts when they login.

My requirement is that they can't start any other program until they have registered their hours. But I have no Idea if this is possible or how

Sounds to me like you need to setup a single-app kiosk or a multi-app kiosk.
