The CAD (or Secure Attention Sequence) cannot be trapped by any process other than MSGINA.
So from VB you can't....
If you are very brave you can attempt to re-write the GINA. You will need to do this in C++. However, conventional wisdom says that this is a very hard thing to do! It is also extremely likely to prove fatal to the operating system several (many) times during development.
