Can we lock the screen in vijeo designer so any user cannot switch back in windows to operate other programs?

You can edit user permissions within the Project Security System configurations.

You can determine if members of a determine group may switch away from the project runtime client to another Windows task, or whether they may open the Windows Task Manager or not.

To enable Security System you can go to the Project Tab of the Ribbon -> click on Configure in the Security System field. There is a Wizard you could try there.

Please refer to the topic “Project Security” from the Technical Reference guide for further details about the Security System.

The Taksbar is always by default hidden at project start. The option “Hide Taskbar” is enabled if you set the Target System to be Embedded.

If you need to be able to see the Windows Taskbar with the Target System as “Windows”, you could use the function “SetViewerPos” at project starting (e.g. in Graphics Script Sub Graphics_OnStart()), so that you would set the viewer in a position where the Windows Taskbar is visible.
