Fields

AllWindows 3

Users can use all windows and user input events without restriction.
NoWindows 0

Users cannot use any windows or user interface events. No user interface can be used.
SafeSubWindows 1

Users can only use SafeSubWindows for drawing, and can only use user input events for user interface within that subwindow. Examples of SafeSubWindows are a MessageBox, common dialog controls, and a control displayed within a browser.
SafeTopLevelWindows 2

Users can only use SafeTopLevelWindows and SafeSubWindows for drawing, and can only use user input events for the user interface within those top-level windows and subwindows. See the Remarks section for more information.

Remarks

This enumeration is used by UIPermission.

When an application runs under the SafeTopLevelWindows permission, it:

  • Shows the DNS name or IP address of the Web site from which the application was loaded in its title bar.

  • Displays Balloon tooltip when it first displays, informing the user that it is running under a restricted trust level.

  • Must display its title bar at all times.

  • Must display window controls on its forms.

  • Cannot minimize its main window on startup.

  • Cannot move its windows off-screen.

  • Cannot use the Form.Opacity property to make its windows less than 50% transparent.

  • Must use only rectangular windows, and must include the window frame. Windows Forms will not honor setting Form.FormBorderStyle to FormBorderStyle.None.

  • Cannot make windows invisible. Any attempt by the application to set the Control.Visible property to False will be ignored.

  • Must have an entry in the Task Bar.

  • Has its controls prohibited from accessing the Parent property. By implication, controls will also be barred from accessing siblings - that is, other controls at the same level of nesting.

  • Cannot control focus using the Control.Focus method.

  • Has restricted keyboard input access, so that a form or control can only access keyboard events for itself and its children.

  • Has restricted mouse coordinate access, so that a form or control can only read mouse coordinates if the mouse is over its visible area.

  • Cannot set the Form.TopMost property.

  • Cannot control the z-order of controls on the form using the Control.BringToFront and Control.SendToBack methods.

These restrictions help prevent potentially harmful code from spoofing attacks, such as imitating trusted system dialogs.
