Hibernate an Application

[Ryan]

Hello Everyone,

We are writing a medical application that due to regulations needs to log
itself out after a certain amount of inactivity. Using timers we can
determine inactivity, however we want to be able to save the application's
state or hibernate it. Any ideas?

Thanks.

Re: Hibernate an Application

Why not simply have the application hide the current screen when a timeout
has been reached and show a login screen instead?

No nasty little state files or any of the associated code (which can be
quite substantial).

Jim,

Thanks for the suggestion, that is the current way I think we have to do
it. Is there any good examples of using state files to save the application?

Thanks.
