VB6 Appl IDLE for sometime

[Mohan Krishna]

Hi Everyone!

I am developing a project in VB6 and Access as backend.

I need an idea from you that if the application is idle for some time then it should ask the LOGIN Password.
Just get an idea of Screensaver in Windows.

Thank You !

You can use a timer control, Idle Flag, MouseMove and KeyPress events.
Set the time interval of timer and validate the idle flag there and update flag to True.
Update the [CODE=vb]Idleflag = False[/CODE] in MouseMove and KeyPress events.

Set ...

Thank you for responding.

Where shall I keep those events - whether in Main Form or else?
Shall I take a separate Timer Control for that?

Thank you once again!

[CyberSoftHari]

Let me clear one thing.
You want application idle or system idle?
If app idle, you have to use the timer control in main form and all other events in all forms.

Hi Mohan Krishna

What a great idea. Maybe I can apply this with some of my projects.

Good Luck : )

I don't think it will be as simple as setting a flag. Because the flag might have been cleared a tenth of a second before the timer fired. I think you would need to track the actual time that the last activity occured. Then in your timer you can test how long it has been.

For App Idle
------------------
1.Set the time interval to your limit of popup the Login screen.
2.Make all form key preview = true.
3.Make Public bolIdleFlag = false in modules.
4.As well in all keypress and mouse move events and enable the timer control.
5.In timer_timer() event write code to popup the login screen.
This is the point I try to describe and there may be some better solutions.

Can we just get something straight, here? I've been correcting a number of these posts, but the word is not "ideal". It is "idle". There's a difference.

[CyberSoftHari]

Sorry, it’s "Idle". Ok, will the above points are useful?
