Disable Home Button

I know this has been asked previously however I would like to disable the home button for an in-house app which will be distributed internally across iPads.

I have searched for a solution both on here and Google and would like to stop users from putting the app into the background. I have seen one solution which doesn't seem to work under iOS 4.0 which opens the app up again when the home button is pressed.

Could I make use of any private APIs to do this seeing as this is an internal app and won't be reviewed by Apple for the App Store?

Thanks

Is there a way to disable the home button?

Navigate to Android > Restrictions > Basic and click on Configure. Under Allow Device Functionality, you'll have the options to disable Home/Power button. Home Button-Uncheck this option to restrict users from using the Home Button. Power Off-Uncheck this option to restrict users from turning their devices off.

I don't know why this is down voted so much it is a perfectly legit use case for an internal enterprise application. Kiosks, POS etc.

Anyway anyone wanting to know how to do this should see my answer here Lock-down iPhone/iPod/iPad so it can only run one app
