Maybe I missed a part of the thread, but
why would you want to catch Ctrl+Alt+Delete ?
It’s quite unusual …

Hi,
I have a SDL app that contain win32 subwindow.
And this subwindow embedded a mplayer.
When i press ctrl+alt+del,
that win32 subwindow(mplayer) will not redraw.
That’s why i want to catch ctrl+alt+del and do somehing (like redraw).

ctrl+alt+del, is usually an admission of failure. The user clearly
isn’t in love with your program, when they resort to the 3 finger

Then you should handle the “losing focus” issue, not try to catch
Ctrl+Alt+Del.

Many OS have keyboard shortcuts that are system specific and not given to
the applications,
it is a bad practice to get hold of them, in the very few cases that is even
possible to do so.

Unless you are targeting an embedded system, or a games console, the days of
an application
owning the computer hardware are long gone.–
