Can you put Silverlight app into Kiosk mode?

Is it possible to tell an out-of-browser Silverlight app to run in kiosk mode?

I can set it to full screen, but can we disable keystrokes that would allow a user with a keyboard to interact with Windows i.e. ctrl+alt+del, alt+tab, ctrl+esc etc.?

This is for an app that will run in full screen on a touchscreen tablet, most of the time there won't be a keyboard on-screen, but there is a "Connect to Facebook" function that will pop-up a keyboard for them to use to log-in.

Thanks, Greg.

You need to install your application as a trusted Silverlight application. See reference:

Full-Screen Mode with Trusted Applications

The full-screen message, user-initiation requirement, keyboard restrictions, and dialog-box restrictions do not apply to trusted applications. Additionally, trusted applications do not display the user-consent dialog box when using the StaysFullScreenWhenUnfocused setting.

In trusted applications, you can enter full-screen mode in a Application.Startup or FrameworkElement.Loaded event handler. However, you must do so by setting the IsFullScreen property in a delegate passed to the Dispatcher.BeginInvoke method.

Because the ESC key has no built-in effect for trusted applications, you can use it for your own purposes. In this case, you should implement and document an alternative so that users can exit full-screen mode.
