Hello all,

1.)
In a Kiosk enviornment... Is there a way to only allow user access to one domain?

(i.e. allow user to access all subdomains of http://www.autohotkey.com)

2.)
Once the user has logged off or left the kiosk... can you set a timer for the program to restart itself? (i.e. 10 minutes)

btw... this http://autohotkey.com/forum/topic4757.html&highlight=kiosk inspired my thinking on this matter.

Any help is appreciated!!!

maybe use controlgettext from Edit1 control in IE.

untested though.............

Code:
ControlGetText, ie_addressbar, Edit1,
IfInString, ie_addressbar, autohotkey
Return
Else
ControlSend,Edit1,http://www.autohotkey.com{ENTER}
Return


EDITED..oppps this doesn't cater for the timer... sorry

I can only suggest to use a browser plugin for that purpose.
There are several Kiosk-Mode plugins available for Firefox:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/search?q=kiosk&cat=all

IE has a Kiosk-Mode, too.

You could write your own Browser in AHK - then you could set everything you want, other browsers can be diasbled using this method:
Code:
SetTimer, Check, 10
Return
Check:
IfWinExist, Internet Explorer
WinKill, Internet Explorer

Or you could write all 23423426205295902840923068209851023912038102482394823492873 hosts to all redirect to www.autohotkey.com in the windows host file. :)

Try adding this to the hosts file:
www.*.* [TAB] 127.0.0.1

Wouldn't you redirect it to the site that you are kiosking? I've personally used 127.0.0.1 with a webserver running off of my flash drive or vpn'ed to bypass filters before. :P

Should be for tests only - I don“t know whether it works or not.

HOSTS files don't accept wildcards.

You can use the Kiosk mode of your browser (if built in, or get a plugin)

Internet Explorer's Kiosk mode
Opera's Kiosk mode

Thanks everyone! I believe these links will provide what I needed.


Too bad I could not get this done via AHK.
