Why would there be a simple way?

A simple way off would require a simple way on to avoid breaking a plethora of apps.

Screenshots and screen movies are how many apps are easily and quickly documented by honest consultants and IT help desks; a vital tool. As a developer, I know everyone else has full access to my UI and I theirs... no biggie.

In all seriousness though, you may want to approach Apple DTS directly and present your business case to them.

Consider the small possibility that MacOS may not be a platform suitable for your app, given its general consumer-centric market.

Also, you may need to solve problems because of sandboxing.

Talk to Apple DTS.

Good Luck!

Have tried changing it in system preferences?
Beyond that look into managed user accounts and creating user account templates in OS X server. You might not need a programmatic solution. Sounds like an account solution. But, it's always easy to take a photo and you will still need to do something about apps like QuickTime X and Grab.
They're bundled.
You'll also need to look at all other apps and browser plugins.
The worst part is potentially for accessibility functionality. That may also run you into a wall if legal compliance in various countries. Oh there is also Automator and AppleScript and screenshots can be done via terminal.

Quite a rabbit hole you're in.

Hello,

I am working on a security-related Mac app and I need to know the way to turn off the ability to screen shot or capture the contents of the app's window. It would appear that setting the sharing type on the main window (which covers the entire screen) to none doesn't completely do it. It appears that Shift-Cmd-3 still performs a screen shot. I've already tried capturing keystrokes and it appears these system-level hot-key combinations aren't able to be cleanly intercepted. More than that, I would think this is overkill -- I would think there would be a simple way to turn off the ability for outside sources to grab contents of an app.

How can I turn this off?

Thanks,
