Know if user clicks out of VM

[pmwhitener]

Greetings all,

I work at a university and we are looking to deploy Jupiter Toolbox in a VM, and use it to test students with. The question is: Is there a way to determine, through the API or CLI of VBox, if a user has clicked out/off of the VM window? The goal being to make sure they do not go to a browser or anything else on the host machine. We would like to open the VM full screen with the min/max capability removed and only have it close when they shutdown the VM.

thank you in advance for any help you may offer!

You wouldn't do it using any of the VirtualBox API - you would do it by having a software on the host, hook into the system and know what window is currently active. you would then check if the window is the VM one or not.

thanks for the reply. Yes, I know we can build a wrapper but we deal with Macs and Win and would prefer not to have to maintain both.
