Hi All,

Did Anyone of you are aware of How to Find Windows Application(Win form) Idle time and If so, Close the Application.

Thanks,
Uday.

Maybe a Timer? And, use the form's MouseMove Event. Be sure to set the timer's interval rate at a real high number, like 10000 milliseconds.

Using a timer is good, you'll need that. Using a particular event like mouse movement is not correct. There are so many other events that need to be catered for. Better use the Application.Idl e event. Be sure to read and understand its specs fully before writing any code though. It does have a few gotchas.

Hi Thanks for early Replies,

I want to implement this on Application Level. Like if I use Timer, I need to Start Timer in each and every form load. Is there any alternative for this. Like can we handle this on Operating System Level.


Thanks,
Uday

There are more Timers then just the one you drag and drop onto your form.
I recomend System.Threadin g.Timer

Yup. That's where the Timer I linked in my first post is directed to.
