Locked NT Workstation

[xGrob]

Is there a way for a program to determine if the NT/2000 workstation it is running on is locked or not? (i don't mean frozen, i mean the ctrl-alt-del then enter on "Lock Computer" method)

Locking through MS' MSDN site, I've run across WinLogon. It has three states, logged out, logged on, and locked. Just looking over this, it looks like it needs to be called via a DLL. James P. Cottingham

This one is the code under VisualC++.
#define _WIN32_WINNT 0x0500
#include<windows.h>
int WINAPI WinMain(HINSTANCE,HINSTANCE,LPSTR,int)
{
LockWorkStation();
return 0;
}
Under CBuilder should be the same, but the define may be not required or an other. Look near the declaration of this function(in winuser.h) and see some
#if _WIN32_WINNT > = 0x0500 //as in VisualC++
.....declarations
#endif
this _WIN32_WINNT could be other define John Fill

John,

[tab]Doesn't LockWorkstation lock the workstation? I thought xGrob wanted to know what the state was without locking the computer.
