I am working on a jailbroken iphone and I don't care if Apple rejects this app. I am not talking about the simple keypad lock that can be achieved through 

GSEventLockDevice();

I am talking about a passcode lock or some way to get the iphone stuck or to disable the home button?

Is it possible programmatically?

  • You can set a passcode (rather than keypad) lock in the Settings app. Just turn off "Simple Passcode." – Jesse Rusak Feb 13 '13 at 13:03

    @SumitMundra No this is not a duplicate of this question.See his answer.My requirement is entirely different.I stated in my question that "I am not talking about GSEventLockDevice". – zzzzz Feb 13 '13 at 13:10

It's called kiosk mode or guided mode.

Here are couple of articles generally describing this subject:

Here is stackoverflow question with several approaches:

Lock-down iPhone/iPod/iPad so it can only run one app

And here is one more approach:
