{
  The LockWorkStation function locks the workstation's display,
  protecting it from unauthorized use.
  This function has the same result as pressing Ctrl+Alt+Del and
  clicking Lock Workstation.
  To unlock the workstation, the user must log in.

  Windows NT/2000/XP: Included in Windows 2000 and later.
  Windows 95/98/Me: Unsupported.
}


procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
begin
  
LockWorkStation;
end;

{ Loading LockWorkStation dynamically}

function LockWS: Boolean;
// by Thomas Stutz, SDC
type
  
TLockWorkStation = function: Boolean;
var
  
hUser32: HMODULE;
  LockWorkStation: TLockWorkStation;
begin
  
// Here we import the function from USER32.DLL
  
hUser32 := GetModuleHandle('USER32.DLL');
  if hUser32 <> 0 then
  begin
    
@LockWorkStation := GetProcAddress(hUser32, 'LockWorkStation');
    if @LockWorkStation <> nil then
    begin
      
LockWorkStation;
      Result := True;
    end;
